Well it doesn't clearly say it but if I quote : "The reversed attribute is a boolean attribute. If present, it indicates that the list is a descending list (..., 3, 2, 1). If the attribute is omitted, the list is an ascending list (1, 2, 3, ...)." Maybe we should replace "indicates that the list is a descending list (..., 3, 2, 1)" by "indicates that the list is a descending list (..., 3, 2, 1, 0, -1,...). That was *for me* the confusing part but maybe it is just me. > > -- > Ian Hickson ? ? ? ? ? ? ? U+1047E ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?)\._.,--....,'``. ? ?fL > http://ln.hixie.ch/ ? ? ?
