Summary Update <ol>.start getter to default to 1
Domenic Denicola
Reported 2016-10-20 12:55:19 PDT
Currently in Edge and Gecko, <ol>.start defaults to 1. In Blink and WebKit, it defaults to something that depends on how many children are rendered. In https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/1916 we updated the spec to follow the simpler Firefox/Edge behavior, with cdumez's cautious support. Tests are available at http://w3c-test.org/html/semantics/grouping-content/the-ol-element/grouping-ol.html

Hi! I'm a newcomer here. It seems pretty simple to solve. I am working on it.

This is a risky change and Blink is currently adding a UseCounter to determine how risky it is. I don't think we should make this change until Blink usage has shown it seems acceptable.
