html ol list styles not converting

Hello,

I have tried to construct several html documents that have nested
ordered lists in them and to specify the numbering style in various
ways, such as:

<ol style="list-style-type:lower-roman">
<li>first</li>
<li>second
<ol type="A">
<li>uno</li>
<li>dos
<ol>
<li>ichi</li>
<li>ni</li>
<li value="9">san</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>tres</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>third</li>
<li>fourth</li>
</ol>

...and try to use AbiWord to convert them on the command line to .doc
files. I have a need to specify the format of the numbering scheme that
each level of the list will use (Decimal, Alpha, Upper Roman, Lower
Roman, etc...) Regardless of how I specify this in the html, AbiWord
ignores and produces a .doc file that will list them as:
     1. first
     2. second
         2.1. uno
         2.2. dos
             2.2.1. ichi
             2.2.2. ni
             2.2.3. san
         2.3. tres
     3. third
     4. fourth

I have tried: <li value="17">, <ol type="i">, <ol
style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">... nothing works. Opening the
resulting .doc (RTF) file, I can find the \listtabletemplate and see
that the value \levelnfc0 is specified for each level. Tough I think
that this is something in the reading of the HTML. If I convert html to
html with a different output file name, the new file doesn't have the
specified numbering style either.

Is there anyway to preserve the ol numbering from an html document?

Thanks for any help,
Seth
