@MatsPalmgren Can you clarify why Firefox still renders

```html
<style>
  list, item { display: block; }
  list { counter-set: foo; margin-left: 40px; }
  list list { counter-reset: foo; }
  item { counter-increment: foo; }
  item::before { content: counters(foo,'.'); }
</style>
<list>
  <item></item>
  <item></item>
  <list>
    <item></item>
  </list>
  <item></item>
</list>
```
like this

The top-level `<list>` instantiates the `foo` counter, so why does the last `<item>` fall back to inheriting from the previous sibling? Is this a bug or intentional?
