Bold numbers in ordered lists

To get bold numbers in ordered lists, one can write

ol { font-weight: bold }
ol span { font-weight: normal }

<ol>
<li><span>..... .</span></li>
<li><span>..... .</span></li>
</ol>

Is there a better way?

There is a perfectly good way that uses the semantic equivalent of an
ordered list, a two column table, with which your requirement has a
simple solution.

Nice - and it degrades well for CSS deficient browsers, too.

I don't know what you mean by "semantic equivalent" - but I certainly
cannot get automatic numbering in a table.

Oh, don't expect it to work in IE!

Firefox, SeaMonkey, Opera... the browser must support css counters.

Take care,

Also Konqueror 3.5.8 so I assume Safari will also work.

So if the 'type' attribute of the OL element is deprecated and authors should rely only on stylesheets how one could use a reference (as clear text) in the content to a particular list element? Suppose I have: <ol type="1" id="main"> <li>baba</li> <li>lele <ol type="a" id="ext">
