I'm looking for the description of the semantics it conveys. I'm *guessing* that its a replacement for the start attribute (since I can't think of anything else that a number might be used for in that context), but the purpose of attributes should be expressed clearly in a specification and shouldn't rely on inferences and guesswork. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/ http://blog.dorward.me.uk/
