Some time ago I was set to beg for a ULI and an OLI to distinguish
between numbered and unnumbered items, because my copy of Author/Editor
doesn't appear to be able to use variable affixes on-screen depending on
the inheritance of an outer element. Then I realised why that was so 
silly, when I dumped a file into TeX to print, where inheritance is 
easy.
