For multiple outputs, you can stack #+attr_ lines, e.g.;
#+attr_latex: :options [a.]
#+attr_html: some clever code which I don't know.
1. one
2. two
Again, I'm sure it is useful for some documents, but I don't think Org
should provide such WYSIWYG feature. It simply is out of its scope. What
would be next? Provide two different bullet types in the output when the
document also uses two of them?
The point, however, is that it is probably already possible to have
alphabetical lists in the output, as Rasmus pointed out. You may not
dismiss the hints given to you so quickly. It could solve your problem,
only not the way you're expecting it to be solved.
Anyway, I'm not opposed to apply tweaks to back-end if needed. What I'm
opposed to, however, is to _guarantee_,even with a defcustom, that
alphabetical lists in the document become alphabetical lists in the
output.
It is also possible to create your own extended back-ends that generate
alphabetical lists. You might also want to share them here.
