I'd rather not change the documented behavior of an attribute - that
would unduly confuse somebody like me who doesn't know what he or she is
doing. Now that I've used <programlisting> I've decided that I rather
like the lack of line spacing, so it's not worth going through any
trouble to make me able to use an <orderedlist>.

For what it's worth, using <orderedlist spacing="compact"> results in
<ol type="1" compact>, which doesn't seem to render any differently in
Firefox.
