My reading of the philosophy at the time they lost control is that most of these are presentational variations on HTML lists, so should not be reflected in HTML. Whilst WHATWG seems to see HTML as a GUI platform, rather than a document markup language, the issue they might have is that one of their primary tenets is that pages (whether compliant or not) should look and behave the same on all browsers. That would mean that such controls would need to replace any similar controls provided by the underlying GUI platform.
