That's an interesting point, but I don't see it as a show-stopper.
Either you allow it to have the wrong numbers while loading, or you make
reverse ordered lists block layout for a while, or we could use
something along the lines of:
<ol count-down-from="6">
...which is more of a pain to author but at least can render correctly
incrementally.
I completely forgot about the start='' attribute. :-) If incremental
rendering is an issue (e.g. if you use a list that will always have 100
items) the author can just set the start value explicitly:
<ol start="100" reverse>
The lack of start='' would make the numbers update as the list is filled
with <li>s. This allows both for simplicitly for short lists and correct
incremental rendering for large lists.
