I think numbering systems are interesting, but I don't want to try and document them in this spec beyond what is necessary for lists. The longhand CJK styles *are* used in lists, so I'd like to document them. I don't need to document them too far - going up to 10^16 is probably excessive (obviously, going up to 10^72 is way too far). Going up to 10^4 is better, and lets me drastically simplify things. (I can remove the Japanese and Korean styles entirely, instead specifying them with the 'additive' algorithm, and drastically simplify the remaining custom algorithm for the Chinese styles.) ~TJ
