* COUNTER-SET for alphabetical ordered lists ignored for utf-8 exporter

It seems that COUNTER-SET[1] is not being honored when exporting to utf-8 for alphabetical lists even though it is honored for numeric lists. When exporting to html, COUNTER-SET is honored for both.

Test document:
```
# An ordered list starting at 3
1. [@3] foo


# An ordered list starting at 1
m. bar


# An ordered list starting at 11
m. [@k] baz
```

Launching emacs with: (Setting org-list-allow-alphabetical is necessary or else the alphabetical lists will become paragraphs)
```
emacs -q --eval '(setq org-list-allow-alphabetical t)' /tmp/test.org
```

When exporting to html you get (edited to remove whitespace for clarity):
```
<ol class="org-ol"><li value="3">foo</li></ol>
<ol class="org-ol"><li>bar</li></ol>
<ol class="org-ol"><li value="11">baz</li></ol>
```

But when exporting to utf-8 you get: (whitespace removed again)
```
3. foo
m. bar
m. baz
```

Whereas I would expect:  (whitespace removed again)
```
3. foo
m. bar
k. baz
```

On a slightly related note: it seems the COUNTER-SET[1] allows single-letter values even when org-list-allow-alphabetical is nil. I don't think that is going to hurt anyone but I figured I should mention it in case its a bug (test doc: `1. [@k] foo` is a plain list starting at 11 even when org-list-allow-alphabetical is nil).

Fixed, on main.

However, what we do for alphabetical bullets on export is slightly
different:

3. foo
1. bar
11. baz

Other export backends do not preserve alphabetical bullets. Numbers are
always used.

org-syntax.html#Items describes what the parser does (`org-element-item-parser').
`org-list-allow-alphabetical' should be changed to t in future and
obsoleted. We aim to reduce config-dependent Org syntax in the long
term.

Thanks!

> We aim to reduce config-dependent Org syntax in the long term.

Thats wonderful news! Sometimes this stuff can really surprise you. For example, the structure of the document created by running `echo "1. foo\n 1.bar\n        1.baz\n\t1.lorem"` changes based on the user's **tab-width**!!

If tab-width is less than 8 then this is:
```text
1. foo
  1. bar
    1. baz
  2. lorem
```

If tab-width is 8 then this is:
```text
1. foo
  1. bar
    1. baz
    2. lorem
```

and if tab-width is greater than 8 this is:
```text
1. foo
  1. bar
    1. baz
      1. lorem
```

Absolute madness! I always considered tab-width to be a personal aesthetic choice and not something that would functionally change how documents other people wrote will be parsed.

Idk if its been discussed, but personally if I were given dictatorship over org-mode I would take all of these emacs variables that are defined outside of the document, and instead of having them influence org-mode directly, I would *only* use them to pre-populate values for in-buffer settings templates.

For example, if a user had set `org-odd-levels-only` then I wouldn't have that impact ANY existing document they open, but if they open a new document then I would have it auto-insert `#+STARTUP: odd` at the top of the fresh document.

Otherwise it seems like org-mode is unsuitable for multi-person collaboration without dictating the contents of everyone's `.emacs` file.

I agree.
See the attached tentative patches for Org mode and org-syntax.

This is a breaking change, so I encourage people who might be affected
reply if they have objections.

That would be very annoying for many users.
What might be better is providing a way to "unload" the parser-affecting
non-standard settings into Org file header, so that the file can be
shared properly with other people.

I must admit that I had not noticed that other exporters converted
the letter to a number.  Going forward I shall stop using them.

If it is obsoleted or deprecated then a mention to etc/ORG-NEWS
would be appreciated.

The intention was to make ascii exporter aware about alphabetical lists
instead of behaving in undefined way.

Yes.

There is nothing to obsolete.
ox-ascii did not process alphabetical lists in any way, which was a bug.
All other exporters convert alphabetical lists into numbered lists.
The bug has been fixed, and the behaviour is now consistent with the rest
of exporters.

If you wish alphabetical lists to be exported specially, feel free to
post a feature request.
