After doing some thinking, I propose that only the descriptor which is
unspecified in all styles in the cycle should fall to 'decimal'.
For example, if there is three styles: A, B, and C:
@counter-style A { system: override B; negative: A; }
@counter-style B { system: override C; prefix: B; }
@counter-style C { system: override A; suffix: C; }
Then all three styles should use 'A' for 'negative', 'B' for 'prefix',
and 'C' for 'suffix', and other descriptors will inherent the value of
'decimal'.
