This attribute should be removed from the spec because it doesn't adhere to "Degrade Gracefully" design principle. Namely in legacy browsers numbering of list items will be wrong. This is more harm then necessity to manually number items for rare cases where list has to ordered in descending manner. 52204 1 ayg 2011-08-03 17:22:29 +0000 Yeah, the use-cases for this seem really weak. Is anyone actually interested in implementing it? 54132 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:36:22 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 55457 3 ian 2011-08-19 02:44:27 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
