Given what you write in another answer i hope not, see below.

I was trying to say that i don't think 'list-item' is a real 
'display' value, its just a block with a marker. The marker "should" 
work even if the element was inline or something else, while
'list-style-position' might not apply to all 'display' types.

I think this is probably what you were referring to in your post:

Given something like that and possibly allowing counters to have 
multiple levels (i dont see how the CSS3 draft copes with nested 
lists):
body:before, ul:before, ol:before,... {counter-push(list-item)}
body:after, ul:after, ol:after,... {counter-pop(list-item)}

one might get the effect that the following author rule would just 
work:
li {display: inline}
and li elements could have default style that make them 'block'. I
don't have any idea how 'list-style-type' would work with something
like your annotate-marker though.
