Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-lists] Should option/optgroup be able to set counters? (#4004)

The counter-argument to letting `option`s be styled is the same for all the "interesting" form controls: browsers have (and take advantage of!) significant leeway in displaying the elements. Load up a page with a `select` on Chrome desktop, Chrome android, and the Android Watch browser, for instance; in all three browsers there's significant variation in how the element and its contents are formatted and displayed. (And similar differences exist between all other browsers.)

We'd ideally like to figure out what to actually do about this, so we can define what properties actually work, but we've never had the time to do any of that & implementor interest to actually pursue any work. :(
