Details

Comparing results of Marker example 5 from Cascading Style Sheets, level 2, CSS2
Specification, W3C Recommendation 12-May-1998 with reference one, the
interpreter contains at least three differrences:
- content: counter... is ignored at all
- if content contains simple expression (e.g. "-"), it is rendered, but original
marker is not removed
- list item ignores P specs (it probably should be inherited, as can be deduced
from demonstation output).

This is basically a duplicate of bug 3935 since we shouldn't be trying to
support these properties.  They're unlikely to be in CSS3, anyway.
1)  We don't support counters yet
2)  <p> cannot contain <ol> -- it can only contain text content.  Hence the
rendering you see.
