As a humble HTML-spec user with no particular axe to grind, I personally
find this one of the most beneficial Netscape changes. Often in the
content of a document it is handy to be able to describe a reference to a
prior or following point (as in "see para 3 iv below"). Now, this can be
done using ANCHOR TAG references, and by explicitly indenting and labelling
paragraphs yourself (ie, by not using ORDERED LISTS at all), but I think the
proposed OL changes are neater and save work.
