Thanks, Vince. (I was working on some code to add, but you guys beat me
to it.)

I see that, not only has the "00 00" disappeared, but alpha ordered lists
beyond 26 items (i.e. requiring 2 letters) no longer overflow the left
margin. I was going to raise a Mantis bug, but you fixed it first!

I can see that non-CSS lists work, except that the start tag is not
obeyed. Whether that is of any consequence? I doubt it.
