Bug 9798 says that @type for <ol> and <ul> should be permitted.
This bug suggests the syntax for the type attribute,
SOLUTION:
General: change from HTML4 values to CSS values
For <ul> the HTML4 values are indentical with CSS2, and thus can remain.
In addition the CSS value "none" should also be permitted.
FOr <ol>, the HTML4 values should become deprecated/obsoleted:
The HTML4 values for ol@type: 1,a,A,i,I
New values from CSS2: decimal | decimal-leading-zero | lower-roman |
upper-roman | lower-greek | lower-latin | upper-latin | armenian | georgian |
lower-alpha | upper-alpha | none
The value "inherit" should not be permitted.
JUSTIFICATION: It is practical to have just one value set - namely that of
CSS.
USER AGENT SUPPORT:
Webkit: the CSS synonyms for the HTML4 values, are already supported - other
CSS values are not supported. (Interaction with default CSS may cause bugs,
however).
In Gecko: The CSS synonyms for the HTML4 values are already supported. But
disabling CSS removes support for @type, regardless of whether it contains CSS
values or HTML4 values.
Opera: supports the HTML4 values - but not the CSS values. Doesn't matter if
CSS is enabled or if one disables CSS (to disable CSS, I disable any styling in
"user mode" - see the Stylesheet menu under the View menut - I don't know if
there is a way to disable CSS more fundamentally).
IE: Only support the HTML4 values. The support is not affected if one disables
CSS for the current page.

I doubt we'll be able to do this, given back-compat, but we should probably at
least investigate.

Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest
title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue

http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html
Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I looked into this but on balance I think we're better off not doing
this (yet). I'm loathe to introduce synonyms, so for <ol type> I'm skeptical
about doing it at all. For <ul type> the only addition at this point would be
"none" and I don't see the use of that. Maybe once CSS3 Lists is more complete,
we can revisit this, though.
