Okay. I guess I just believe it should be an error.  An author setting a reset 
or increment twice in all likelyhood didn't mean to, whether it is the result 
of typo or of two conflicting scripts.

I might not have the greatest experience in carefully reading standards, but I 
am shocked at how many minor and for everyday irrelevant corner-cases, that 
sneaked into the initial implementation of counters in Konqueror. Surely I am 
one to to blame, but I find it dangerous that the spec could be that 
misunderstandable. 
At this point though, I guess it is probably safer to leave the semantics of 
the spec in their current form and only improve the text.
