cf. _Graphic Design for the Electronic Age_ by Jan V. White (Watson
Guptill Publications, New York, 1988)

White refers to "Sequential Lists" which have the form:

    First, understand the problem to be communicated.

    Second, Analyze and divider it into its cmoponent parts.

    Third, write the information so it fits the segments.

    Fourth, invent the best typographic format to fit the material.

    Fifth, try and write a sufficiently long item to show what
    happens in that case.

The characteristics of such a list are that it begins with related
words (First, Second, ...) and has no tick mark. Presumably, such a
list would be input as
\begin{sequential}
\item First, understand the problem to be communicated.
\item Second, Analyze and divider it into its cmoponent parts.
\item Third, write the information so it fits the segments.
\item Fourth, invent the best typographic format to fit the material.
\item Fifth, try and write a sufficiently long item to show what
happens in that case.
\end{sequential}

Should such a thing be added to LaTeX?
