I lost you here.  Given that the list-item counter "can be directly
affected using the 'counter-increment'" property, why would list-item
increment in this case?

I would think the two counters (page and list-item) would behave the
same under these conditions.

(Based on the attached, it appears Opera agrees with you, Mozilla
doesn't display a marker at all in this case, IE and Prince don't
increment...)

Best wishes,
