3.6 Zero-Padding and Constant-Width Representations: the pad descriptor
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-counter-styles/#counter-style-pad

It may be worth adding a note to say that this padding works best where the grapheme clusters used are generally about the same width.  If you tried this with, say, the persian-alphabetic counter-style the variations in character width would probably defeat the aim of padding.

(Similarly, in some Indic scripts where grapheme clusters are not equivalent to syllables I suppose it could also be a problem, though I think it's unlikely that people with use syllables and padding for those indic script counter styles.)
