Numbering items in an UL is a bit like numbering sections in a document which only has Hn tags in it. The browser can get this into the User Interface without the author putting it in the ALT. Using ALT to achieve this has a less than rosy prognosis, in my gut reaction. This is also an application scenario of interest in the CSS2 review context. If we get numbering tooled up to the extent the Braille users would like, I think one could write a style that will cause OL entries to be numbered. -- Al Gilman
