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

Yes, you're right, and it's an issue I noticed in the past when trying to use additive to do things like this. I ended up considering it niche enough to not need addressing, since it would complicate the additive syntax significantly, and the existing real-world additive systems didn't use it (they do indeed skip digits with 0 value).

We'd probably want a more explicit generation form that was explicitly base-N and took a list of symbols to use for each digit in a given place.

Or just have another descriptor that appends to the generated representation, to address the use-case more directly.
