I would like to start a discussion on when to use a Ordered (numbered)
list vs Unordered list. Yes, this being picky on the details. ;-)

Generally speaking, any time a list of steps or content needs to be
followed in a specific order - use a ordered (numbered, alphabetized,
etc. list)

Ex:

1.) Launch your browser
2.) Click on File
3.) Click on Print

Anytime the context can be taken out of order and still make logical
sense, use an unorderd list or bullet points.

Ex:

* Humans
* Elves
* Troll

This is based off the Docbook guidelines, but I can't seem to find the
exact reference right now. =-/

Any thoughts (agree or disagree or further comments) on this?

Thanks.
