Hi,

As described later in the same section, the counter-increment on your 
first div is for a counter that is not in scope, so a new scope/instance 
is created for it. The second div however is in the scope that was just 
created, so counter-increment does not create a new scope.

If you had specified counter-reset as well as counter-increment, both 
resets would have create a scope each and UAs would render (1) and (1).
