Use nested <ol>, use CSS to turn off the numbering and insert your own
with the content management system (hand, automatic or XSLT). Although
CSS has useful features for doing such numbering automatically, browser
support is just too poor for them to be usable.

1.2. text
2. text
2.1. text
2.2. text

(Note however that the list of browsers that correctly display the code is
slightly longer now than when the page was written.)

Yeah, works in Firefox now (v1.5).

Use nested <ol>, use CSS to turn off the numbering and insert your
own with the content management system (hand, automatic or XSLT).

I'd rather use <ul>. The reason is that when CSS is turned off (or not
supported at all by the user agent), the bullets are more tolerable
than numbers or letters. If you have a number like "1.2" inserted at
the start of a list item content, you _don't_ want browsers to display
"2. 1.2" when they use their default rendering; "* 1.2" isn't good
either, but better.

I'd rather use <ul>.

By bizarre coincidence, I first wrote <ul>

Then I changed it, because I couldn't be bothered having the inevitable
argument with Jukka over its semantic mis-use.
