If I view the gcc.gnu.org file in IE 5 it displays correctly.  If I view 
it in Mozilla 1.0.2 it displays incorrectly.

The problem seems to be either a Mozilla bug for displaying the html 
incorrectly, or a bug in the texinfo->html converter for generating 
ambiguous html.

The html in question is
	<ol type=1 start=0>
IE5 gives the next paragraph a number of 0, but Mozilla 1.0.2 gives the 
next paragraph a number of 1.  I don't know enough about html to know 
where the error lies.

It is interesting to note that the FSF copy uses explicit section 
numbers instead of an enumeration to avoid this problem.

You can use the normal bug reporting mechanism for doc/web problems.
