OK, I think I understand what the spec means re later counter resets.

I am not exactly an expert on this subject, but it seems to me redundant
to defining scopes for all the references to the same counter within a
single counter-reset when only the last one has an external effect. 

Would it not be better to wield Occam's Razor on the earlier ones?
