Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-paged-media] Should position:fixed elements get repeated on every page? (#12481)

I'm strongly of the opinion that can't be made to work correctly. If fixed content is to be repeated on every page, how is this supposed to work?

```css
div::after {
    position: fixed;
    content: counter(page);
}
```

Either the content is the same on every page, and wrong, or the content is different on every page and various aspects of the element - bounding box, etc - are indeterminate.

The only consistent way to make this work is page margin boxes as noted by @Psychpsyo
