I've had a look at your patch.

I think the modifications to HTML and DocBook exporters are nice. It
could be possible to do the same thing in LaTeX, but it would require
yet another package (enumitem) by default. Anyway, here are the code
comments :

- in your patch, you should try to list modifications to the
  functions, and which functions were created. For example :

  * org-list.el (org-alphabetical-lists): new variable
  (org-cycle-list-bullet): added "A)" "a)" "A." and "a." to the list
  of bullets in cycle. None of them is allowed in a description list.

- The "yes" at the beginning of org-docbook.el should be removed

- I advise against using (org-next-item) programmatically. It means
  you compute the structure associated to the list for each item in
  the list. I left a note about this circa line 847 in org-list.el

- There's a bug with the following situation :

  A) test
  B) tersi
  C) teirsu
  D) tersiu
  E) tesiu
  F) teisru
  G) etisu
     - sub-item 1
     - sub-item 2
     - sub-item 3
     - sub-item 4
  H) tesinu
  I) tesinru
  J) etnrsiu
  K) tesriun
  L) etnsiu
  M) estinu
  N) etsniu
  O) etsinu
  P) tesnu
  Q) etsinu
  R) etsiun
  S) etsnriu
  T) etsnriu
  U) etsinu
  V) etsiu
  W) etinrsu
  X) last item

  If you outdent sub-items 2 to 4 at the same time (with a region),
  bullet of the last item will become "AA)" and will not be recognized
  as a list item anymore.

- There's also a bug with counters:

  * [0/0] Counter

    A. [X] first box
    B. [X] second box

  These boxes are not counted when bullets are literals (try C-c #).


HTH,
