Although I'd welcome an easy way to build your own list-style algorithms, I think it's counter-productive to force all authors, who want to use a non-CSS2 list-style-type, to write down every algorithm each time---let the UA developers have to do the work *once*. It's also likely that many (more) authors would produce illegal/ambiguous CSS files for charset reasons, because you usually can't identify the system from seeing something like "\0ABC\0ABD..." and thus use the verbose glyphs. Afterall it's an i18n issue. OTOH I'd like to see two keywords (distinguishing between numeric and alphabetic) that told the UA to automatically select an appropriate list-style-type for the language the list is in. (Maybe something like this is already in the CSS3: Lists WD, I last read it quite some time ago.)
