Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-counter-styles-3] Should fallback use prefix/suffix of original style or fallback style? (#8619)

> I didn't have a particularly great reason to define it that way, except that it seemed simpler at the time.

To me, it seems confusing rather than simpler. If the range of a `@counter-style` rule excludes the value being represented, its `fallback` applies. `fallback` references another counter style. It's unnatural to expect it to reference only certain aspects of the fallback style and not the style as a whole.

Given the lack of clear motivation for the "partial-fallback" interpretation, and that we received a specific bug report (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1808995) relating to this (with a real-world use case), I think we should indeed adjust this.
