Well, <ol><li>This list item will be replaced by a script.</ol> is not invalid. An empty list doesn't make any sense otherwise, IMHO, so it's sensible to require at least one 'li' child. Actually I would have made some content models rather stricter than looser. I think both, hard-coded and script-generated markup?, have to be valid. Of course the latter may be invalid during steps in the script's run, but not after it finishes. ? Or the markup infered from the script-altered DOM tree.
