Numbers are best because we only have a Tex markup for a numbered list that might be used to cross refer to a graphic. I also think that there may be less problems with translation.

Ease of translation is a very good point, thanks.
I also think that a graphic with more than a few numbered items, certainly if more than 9, would be very confusing.
Yes, above 5 it starts to become painful, I'd say. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : ubuntu-manual@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
