Supposing that the list item market is like a previous sibling (I don't think it is, I think it's inside the principal box, but supposing there is an element that generates a non-principal box outside the principal box), I think Brady is asking if the text of the spec is enough to ensure the break doesn't break between the two boxes.

Nah, current spec text *will* break between them.  But we just don't
have such cases currently.  (::marker is indeed a child of the list
item.)
