Example

The following example treats the short numbered clauses of Anglo-Saxon legal codes as lists of items. The text is from an ordinance of King Athelstan (924–939):

<div1 type="section">
 <head>Athelstan's Ordinance</head>
 <list type="ordered">
  <item n="1">Concerning thieves. First, that no thief is to be
     spared who is caught with the stolen goods, [if he is] over
     twelve years and [if the value of the goods is] over eightpence.
  <list type="ordered">
    <item n="1.1">And if anyone does spare one, he is to pay for the
         thief with his wergild — and the thief is to be no nearer a
         settlement on that account — or to clear himself by an oath of
         that amount.</item>
    <item n="1.2">If, however, he [the thief] wishes to defend himself
         or to escape, he is not to be spared [whether younger or older
         than twelve].</item>
    <item n="1.3">If a thief is put into prison, he is to be in prison
         40 days, and he may then be redeemed with 120 shillings; and the
         kindred are to stand surety for him that he will desist for ever.</item>
    <item n="1.4">And if he steals after that, they are to pay for him
         with his wergild, or to bring him back there.</item>
    <item n="1.5">And if he steals after that, they are to pay
         for him with his wergild, whether to the king or to him
         to whom it rightly belongs; and everyone of those who
         supported him is to pay 120 shillings to the king as a fine.</item>
   </list>
  </item>
  <item n="2">Concerning lordless men. And we pronounced about these
     lordless men, from whom no justice can be obtained, that one
     should order their kindred to fetch back such a person to justice
     and to find him a lord in public meeting.
  <list type="ordered">
    <item n="2.1">And if they then will not, or cannot, produce him on
         that appointed day, he is then to be a fugitive afterwards, and
         he who encounters him is to strike him down as a thief.</item>
    <item n="2.2">And he who harbours him after that, is to pay for him
         with his wergild or to clear himself by an oath of that amount.</item>
   </list>
  </item>
  <item n="3">Concerning the refusal of justice. The lord who
     refuses justice and upholds his guilty man, so that the king is
     appealed to, is to repay the value of the goods and 120 shillings
     to the king; and he who appeals to the king before he demands
     justice as often as he ought, is to pay the same fine as the
     other would have done, if he had refused him justice.
  <list type="ordered">
    <item n="3.1">And the lord who is an accessory to a theft by his
         slave, and it becomes known about him, is to forfeit the slave
         and be liable to his wergild on the first occasionp if he does it
         more often, he is to be liable to pay all that he owns.</item>
    <item n="3.2">And likewise any of the king's treasurers or of our
         reeves, who has been an accessory of thieves who have committed
         theft, is to liable to the same.</item>
   </list>
  </item>
  <item n="4">Concerning treachery to a lord. And we have pronounced
     concerning treachery to a lord, that he [who is accused] is to
     forfeit his life if he cannot deny it or is afterwards convicted
     at the three-fold ordeal.</item>
 </list>
</div1>

Note that nested lists have been used so the tagging mirrors the structure indicated by the two-level numbering of the clauses. The clauses could have been treated as a one-level list with irregular numbering, if desired.

Example
<p>These decrees, most blessed Pope Hadrian, we propounded in the
public council ... and they confirmed them in our hand in your
stead with the sign of the Holy Cross, and afterwards inscribed
with a careful pen on the paper of this page, affixing thus the
sign of the Holy Cross.
<list type="simple">
  <item>I, Eanbald, by the grace of God archbishop of the holy
     church of York, have subscribed to the pious and catholic
     validity of this document with the sign of the Holy Cross.</item>
  <item>I, Ælfwold, king of the people across the Humber,
     consenting have subscribed with the sign of the Holy Cross.</item>
  <item>I, Tilberht, prelate of the church of Hexham, rejoicing
