No, but it means that you can't use the widely supported "start"
attribute on the <ol> element, which a Transitional DTD would allow. CSS
automated numbering is the scheme designed to replace that attribute
(although it is debatable whether the numbering of ordered lists is truly a
style issue in the first place).

No, because using a digit as an id is invalid under any X/HTML DTD
(although it will work in most Win32 versions of IE).

Yep. Back to spotty support.
