What problem does this address?

The only type of ordered list is numbered.

  1. But not this
  2. or this
  1. Or even this
  2. or this!!
  1. bet you didn't think this was possible
  2. and yet the difference is a single character HTML attribute
  3. foobar

All it takes is a type attribute:

<ol type="a">
    <li>Foo</li>
    <li>bar</li>
</ol>

Which is passed to the tag but it's used to determine if a ul or an ol should be used.

What is your proposed solution?

Add an extra button to the toolbar for ordered lists with a 1/A/a/I selector.

There's already a sidebar inspector option for the starting number, and I would register a block style but sadly unless I want unordered graphics or images this isn't a CSS thing, it's a HTML markup thing.

Noting that someone has pointed out that lower-roman is a valid value for the list parameter so this can be done with CSS and block styles!
