When compiling the documentation, I created a schema using ordered lists in ordered lists and applied pseudo-legal-style line numbering using CSS. The default behavior of lists is right-alignment and left-alignment of text; however, the CSS2 snippet I'm using changes this behavior, so the numbers are left aligned and the text, although left justification is wrong. See the following examples:
Default behavior (number 10 highlights the desired alignment):
1. Item
2. Item
1. Item
2. Item
1. Item
2. Item
3. Item
...

dapibus tristique sit amet eros. Pellentesque turpis turpis.
