I've been changing my approach with every message, the last time in
response to your DSSSL example. With counter a read-increment property
of an element.class, the non-incrementing 'parent-counter' property
might be better named 'count', as in:
H2:before { content: BODY.count "." DIV.1.counter ". " }
I now see two declared properties (counter-type, counter-initial) and
two readable ones (counter, count). Pretty simple.
