You are right. Or isn't it even
"is-not-numbered-although-the-list-style-says-it-should-be-and-although-it-is-displayed-like-
beeing-in-a-list" :)

I agree. This attribute name reflects much better the meaning of the
attribute. My first thought was that the term "list-header" might be
confusing if we are not in a list, but since we reference "list-styles"
by "list-style-name" attribute if we are not in a list, too, that's
probably not the case.
