Don Hosek suggests that a list such 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}

be added.  Two observations:

    (a) The initial word "First" etc must not be hard-coded
        into the macros, because British usage is "Firstly".

    (b) If there is no special indentation of subsequent
        lines in each item, why is this different from a
        \begin{quote}
        Firstly, ...

        Secondly, ...

        Thirdly, ...
        \end{quote}
        possibly with \noindent in front of each paragraph?
        Visually, it would look much the same; the question
        perhaps is whether being a logically-distinct
        entity, it deserves a new environment.
