Sorry if I wasn't clear (I had found that bit of the DTD). 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.
