What about this?

    @counter-style DISC { ... }
    e { list-style-type: disc; }

I’m not sure what’s the exact behavior you mean. Is it as follows?
"Iff a <counter-style-name> value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for 
one of the 14 CSS 2.1 values, normalize to ASCII lower case. Otherwise 
use the ident value as parsed."

Do we have types other than <counter-style-name> that mix user-defined 
and CSS-defined idents? Would they each have a fixed list of CI values? 
Could such a list expand in a future level?

I’m trying to figure out the details here, but overall I like this idea.
