My specific usage was in DDF2Html, where Impression's numbered lists are
translated into corresponding HTML lists - and where I was looking at a
particular document which was quoting partial elements from a list, such
that the original reads

i)
ii)
iii) [...]
v)

which is rendered in Netsurf as
1)
2)
3)
4)

Likewise a similar list in the same article contains items
1)
5)
9)

which appear on the website (in Netsurf) misleadingly as
1)
2)
3)

I could try to get the program to calculate the values itself instead of
relying on translating the DDF codes, which map pretty neatly onto the
<OL> definition, but I assumed at the time of writing the software that
Netsurf would at some point be upgraded to implement full ordered list
support.
