I see that now. I read it hastily as a repeat of my own
code, the visual difference being subtle even if
significant.

I noticed that part, which is why their embedded OL didn't
make sense.

I did see the ordered list embedded in the ul, and if
embedded IN a <li>...</li> and not between
<li></li>...<li></li> I simply didn't see the pattern.

I see.
I now understand that one apparently embeds a list IN a list

between links puts our HTML that displays OK in Firefox, but
we'll rewrite the list functions to get that right.
