- Use the HTML below (modified to fit this text area)
- Notice that the type for circle is "circle" but that the type for upper-alpha
is "A".  I believe it should be "upper-alpha" as it is when used with
<OL type=A>

this goes for upper-alpha, lower-alpha, upper-roman, lower-roman, & arabic
numbers which should be "decimal"

Since the content attribute has "A" thats what the DOM should return (after
discussing the issue with vidur). If you disagree, take it up with him.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: INVALID → ---
Since this:
<OL type=A>
  <LI>first list item
  <LI>second list item
  <LI>third list item
  <LI>fourth list item
</OL>

returns "upper-alpha", I assume that this:

<OL>
  <LI type=A>first list item
</OL>

should too for consistencies sake.
reassigning to vidur for comment.

Yeah, we should have consistency. I think preserving the original attribute
value is the right thing to do.
Assignee: vidur → kipp
Status: ASSIGNED → NEW
assigning back to kipp.
Summary: Reading <LI type=A> reports "A" as the type instead of "upper-alpha" → Reading <OL type=A> reports "upper-alpha" as the type instead of "A"
Target Milestone: M8 → M15
[Kipp is on sabbatical. Marking M15. Fixing summary.]
Summary: Reading <OL type=A> reports "upper-alpha" as the type instead of "A" → {list} Reading <OL type=A> reports "upper-alpha", not "A"

Fixed. We need preserve the original attribute type and can therefore map it
back to text properly for javascript or for writing out the content.
