> I must not be understanding something. I probably didn't explain it well. The original lists were documented in spec prose, and the list kept growing, which was seen as an issue at the time. (There was originally pushback against standardizing the X11 color names, for example, because "that is a big list and makes my code bigger"). Inventing `@counter-style` was a way to prevent the list from growing and to enable authors for unsupported styles to add them to their pages. Trimming down the official list was a stick-and-carrot way to encourage browser implementation. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8636#issuecomment-1481962184 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
