This would have been easier with the display:list-item-marker value, but that got dropped in favor of a proper ::marker pseudoelement. It's possible that this should be revived and magicked into working appropriately, essentially moving the item into the content of the ::marker. Alternately, some magic by way of the Generated and Replaced Content module could be employed. (I do intend to try and revive that module.) In any case, though, this does indeed seem to be a styling issue. We can move the styling-relevant parts of the discussion over to www-style. Within the bounds of HTML, though, I think that the advice as I phrased it is optimal - just use an <ol>, suppress the list-style, and put the marker in the content. ~TJ
