Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-counter-styles-3] Should fallback use prefix/suffix of original style or fallback style? (#8619) from Sam Sneddon via GitHub on 2023-03-20 (public-css-archive@w3.org from March 2023)

to quote @jfkthame in the WPT issue:

Not doing this seems unexpected/illogical, IMO.

As an aside, I also missed the note quoted above when I first looked at this—because the first place I looked at was the definition of the `fallback` descriptor, which I would've expected would've (at least informatively) pointed out the fallback is partial.
