I was [actioned](https://www.w3.org/International/track/actions/1276) by I18N-WG in [this call](https://www.w3.org/2023/06/22-i18n-minutes.html#t05) to respond to this issue. Adding wider built-in support for other languages/cultures is generally a good thing: it is our mission to encourage wider availability of linguistic/cultural support in the Web, with no culture, language, or writing tradition excluded. I18N is concerned (for the reasons @r12a enumerates elsewhere) that converting our work in this space into a registry might be a maintenance headache unless approached carefully. The ready-made counter styles are meant to be useful to page authors whose linguistic or cultural needs are not built-in to browsers. At the same time, we have not stabilized the data we capture and are continually striving to improve the styles provided. Registries (and a requirement for browsers to implement the registry) generally carry a certain level of stability guarantee. We believe we would support CSSWG operating a registry of counter styles given appropriate thought into gathering, vetting, and updating styles. -- GitHub Notification of comment by aphillips Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8636#issuecomment-1619182134 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
