Nope, basically all counter styles* are moving over to be defined as
@counter-style rules in the UA stylesheet and are overrideable, so we
can introduce new ones in the future without worrying about name
collisions. (The author's version will win, so old pages are
unharmed.)
* Except hebrew, ethiopian-numeric, and maybe tamil. They're still
overrideable, though.
