Just noting that this isn't only for `counters()`, basic HTML lists also have oddities as currently defined (since  #5477 was not a comprehensive solution):

<details>

```html
<ol>
    <li>Some</li>
    <li>List</li>
    <li>Items
        <ol>
            <li>Nested</li>
        </ol>
    </li>
</ol>
<section style="list-style-type: decimal">
    <li>Some</li>
    <li>List</li>
    <li>Items
        <ol>
            <li>Nested</li>
        </ol>
    </li>
</section>
<ol>
    <li>Some</li>
    <li>List
        <ol>
            <li>Nested</li>
        </ol>
    </li>
    <li>Items</li>
</ol>
```

Blink and WebKit don't use actual counters, so they show the more reasonable

```
1. Some
2. List
3. Items
    1. Nested

1 Some
2 List
3 Items
    1. Nested

1. Some
2. List
    1. Nested
3. Items
```

But in Firefox, or when manually switching to an actual counter,


```
1. Some
2. List
3. Items
    1. Nested

4 Some
5 List
6 Items
    1. Nested

1. Some
2. List
    1. Nested
3. Items
```
