If the list goes a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z, and the document language is Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Indic, or anything not Latin, I don't see how this works. I suppose the simplest case for discussion is Greek which has 'A' and 'B' but not 'C'...., it isn't technically a Latin derivative but it's close enough. I'm not really sure it's a good idea to have lists which are using a fixed element set be read differently document to document based on document language when numbers aren't.
