Summary: CSS2 Error with list display → CSS2 display: marker, etc. not supported
->WONTFIX.  We should implement what the CSS3 list module has (when it comes
out), which will probably not be 'display: marker'.

I think this should be re-opened, since bug 205202 was marked "wontfix" on the
grounds that CSS3 shouldn't yet be supported. It's really silly to not implement
the CSS2 way of doing things because CSS3 will do it differently, and at the
same time not implement the CSS3 way because CSS3 isn't finalized yet... and in
the meantime website authors have to wait endlessly for CSS3 to come out.
Bug 205202 has been re-opened, so I withdraw my previous comment. Gracias!
I think technically this is a dupe of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14983.

Linking to the current active bugs on this subject: display: marker won't be
implemented (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14983) -- instead
mozilla will eventually "Support CSS3's ::marker pseudo element"
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205202).
