Hmm.
Does that markup solve any user problems that following traditional,
markup does not?
<ol style="list-style-type: iroha">
<li class="list-header">Dry:
<ol>
<li>1c flour</li>
<li>1/4c sugar</li>
<li>1tsp baking soda</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li class="list-header">Wet:
<ol>
<li>1 egg</li>
<li>1/2c milk</li>
<li>1tsp vanilla extract</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
Pros of lh:
* User agents could give a different default style to "LH" (e.g. bold in
a visual medium, or reading "list header" in an speech medium).
* Fewer bytes.
Pros of traditional markup:
* Can style sublists without introducing new features to CSS.
* Works correctly in existing user agents (e.g. list navigation in
screen readers).
