Hello,

The CSS2 Recommendation specifies a system of counters and markers
that may be used to create lists (see the 'content' property). Markers
and counters are meant to replace the HTML 4.0 attributes you mention
above. 

Since we will have to wait for CSS2 browsers to make their appearance
before benefitting from the more general and powerful markers
and counters, you should continue to use the HTML 4.0 attributes.

Thank you for showing concern,
