I find the term "negative-capable" defined in
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-counter-styles/#negative-capable to be
quite confusing when I see it outside of the context of its
definition (particularly in code).
In particular, negative-capable sounds like a construct that relates
to the range of a counter style, which this concept does not.
As an alternative, I'd suggest the term "uses a negative sign".

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
