I don't think this is a good change.

As explained in this thread, alphabetical lists are only a visual clue
(and a bad one, IMO) which have no particular meaning wrt export (Org
only recognizes `ordered', `unordered' and `description' lists). This is
why this "feature" was never implemented in the last exporter.

The OP can probably use CSS to get what he wants without hard coding it
in the back-end.

Moreover, it introduces an incompatibility with `latex' back-end, since
this one won't enforce alphabetical bullets in the same situation.

Therefore, I suggest to revert the patch.


Regards,
