@ListItem and @NumberOf

[Michael Piotrowski]

According to the User's Guide, p. 50,

  Cross referencing of list items yields just the number of the item,
  in Arabic, Roman, or whatever

I understand this to mean that the result of @NumberOf for a @ListItem
depends on the list type, i.e., it would produce "1", "I" or "a"
depending on whether the @ListItem appears in a @NumberedList,
@UCRomanList or @AlphaList, respectively.

However, in fact it seems to always produce the number of the the
item, regardless of the list type.  For example,

  @SysInclude{doc}
  @Document
  //
  @Text @Begin

  @UCRomanList
  @ListItem @Tag {itema} {Lorem ipsum}
  @ListItem @Tag {itemb} {Dolor sit amet}
  @EndList

  This is a reference to list item @NumberOf {itemb}.

  @End @Text

produces

  I.   Lorem ipsum

  II.  Dolor sit amet

  This is a reference to list item 2.

Is this a bug, or have I misunderstood something?

Thanks in advance
