The CSS Working Group just had a face to face meeting and so are
probably not looking at this list right now.

There's a scope question sometimes - e.g. what should differentiate
browsers - and also a context question - sometimes people need one
behaviour and sometimes the other, which is why e.g. word processors
often have a "paste with formating" or "paste without formatting"
option.

If you're pasting a numbered list into a word processor and the numbers
are copied, you can end up with two sets of numbers, because the
numbered-list-ness gets pasted too. So I thnk there isn't a single
right answer, but I'll let others comment who've thought more deeply
about it.
