I'm not sure a lot of authors need this low-level feature. HTML 
li/@value just looks like a low-level variant of DocBook 
orderedlist/@startingnumber. I mean, IMHO, DocBook 
orderedlist/@startingnumber is a fine solution for the vast majority of 
needs (and orderedlist/@continuation="continues", an even better solution).
