So if I'm standing on an li --

<xsl:template match="li">
    <xsl:choose>
        <!-- my parent list is a steps list -->
        <xsl:when test="parent::steps">
            <xsl:attribute name="list-type" select='decimal'/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:when test="count(ancestor::list[not(descendant::steps)])
        mod 2 eq 0>
         <xsl:attribute name="list-type" select='alpha'/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:when test="count(ancestor::list[not(descendant::steps)])    
        mod 2 eq 1>
         <xsl:attribute name="list-type" select='decimal'/>
        </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
<!-- other stuff -->
</xsl:template>

(I don't think I've managed to retain the correct style names for the
list types, so this won't be exactly right.)
