[CSS 3 counters] Dealing with <ol start=""> and <li value=""> ?

The WHAT WG's WA1 draft brings back the start attribute on ordered lists 
and introduces a value attribute on individual list items, and semantic 
grouping of lists (saying two <ol></ol>s are in fact one list) is being 
discussed. Unless I missed something in my (admittedly quick) reading, 
the Counters section in both CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 seems insufficient to 
deal with this.

I don't actually have any thoughts on how to solve it, but just wanted 
to make sure it didn't get lost in the void.
