No it isn't. Check it. (It passes validation, because the type attribute in

And I think that if you do it with the "type" attribute, you are
indeed limited. Including a 'type="disc"' attribute in an ol element
is undoubtedly going to cause the document to fail validation.

Of course they can. Whether you should style them that way is debatable, but
surely you can, by the specs and in practice.

Also, going back to its HTML history, screen readers (for the handicapped)
recognize the inherent 'orderliness' of a ol, over an ul.
IMHO, listing the ingredients needed in a recipe need not have the same
precedence as the recipe instructions.

I just noticed that apparently the full spectrum of list-style-types
apply equally to both ordered lists and unordered lists. So, ordered
lists can have a list-style-type of "disc" and unordered lists can
have a list-style-type of "decimal". Does anyone see any reason why
