Renumber HTML ordered lists from org-mode?

Renumber HTML ordered lists from org-mode?

[Uriel Avalos]

In HTML, one way of renumbering OL lists is to use "start". (Ex: <ol
start=13>...</ol> restarts the numbering at 13.) 

Is there anyway to do that from within org-mode without hacking the
exported HTML file? 

Is there a +ATTR_HTML:  planned for OL and UL lists?

That would be nice to have - but we don't have it yet.

A patch would be seriously considered!

This has taken a long time.  I have not done an ATTR_, but you
can now write

    1. [@start:20] item number 20

to have a list start at 20.

Currently this works in Org-mode itself to change the list with
a different counter, and for the HTML, LaTeX, and ASCII
exporters.  I hope that it can also be translated for the docbook
exporter.
