so, but I certainly wouldn't say nobody wants to use reverse-ordered
lists. I've seen plenty of them across the web (whether non-HTML or
hacked via CSS, tables, etc.), and more than a few complaints that
there's no easy, standardized way to make them. Besides, designing and
implementing such a feature ought to be so easy for W3C and UA's that
the (admittedly minor) benefit would be entirely worth the small
trouble. I'd never claim my proposal to be earth-shattering, but it's
not much less worthwhile than the "start" attribute. They're both
useful in certain infrequent-but-not-improbable situations, and stay
out of the way when not needed. :)
