Sure; the point is that the computed value doesn't tell you there will
be a box.

Yeah, all the spec says is:
An element that is not displayed ('display' set to 'none') cannot
increment or reset a counter.
(CSS2.1 section 12.4.3). That's not much to go on....
I believe in Gecko such elements don't affect counters (because we never
create such boxes to start with, but even if we did counter numbering
has to deal with dynamic removals in a non-print context, so removing
the boxes would renumber the counters).
