I really hate trying to make sense of specs sometimes.

How would a Reading System with no CSS support be expected to honor a CSS rule telling it that it shouldn't number the list items in an ordered list? Without CSS, isn't a numbered list the default for <ol> ?

I'm just not following the logic at all. For the life of me, it seems like I'm reading something like; "use CSS to ensure that reading systems without CSS don't number items (that, sans CSS, are going to generate list items with numbers by default)."

What am I missing?
