I've never seen a list in French or German that had items numbered with a oe ligature or a sharp s. That is no proof that nobody has ever done it or might want to do it... I don't know about Norwegian, but we have had Norwegians in the WG or otherwise involved in CSS and they never complained. > > Is there a Cyrillic list style? I didn't see it listed in > the spec. Good point. I would expect it exists. (And there also you could raise the question whether the Ukraine, e.g., uses its extra letters...)
