Hmm... That's informative text, not normative. But yes, I take the
point that as the spec is currently written it strongly hints that the
t1202-counters-17-d test is at least making assumptions it should not be
making, in that UAs are free to have this rule in the UA stylesheet.
I wonder how all this matches up with existing implementations... Gecko
does not have "white-space: pre-line" defined for :before/:after.
Neither does Opera 9 (though Opera makes \A produce a line-break even if
"white-space: normal" is set, which looks like a bug to me). IE doesn't
support any of this stuff, and khtml seems to have "white-space:
pre-line" set (in version 3.5.5, at least).
