as it is, i just verified that, but it's not clear from the
"docbook: tdg" book that this is what would happen.  the synopsis
table claims that numeration for an orderedlist is "none", yet
on the next page, it states that if numeration is not specified,
arabic numerals are used.

and there is no mention of the default numeration for sublists.
is there another part of the book i should have been looking at?
just being typically confused.
