Description
What type of issue is this?
Missing compatibility data
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
According to @captainbrosset over in https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features/pull/3881#discussion_r2986429856:
Safari is the only browser to support images as symbols. Other browsers only support text/ident symbols. It would be great to mint a new feature just for image counter styles. I guess that would require a sub-feature in BCD.
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
No response
What did you expect to see?
A subfeature for each of:
<image><string><custom-ident>
Did you test this? If so, how?
I didn't test this, but I trust @captainbrosset. 😄
We'll need a test case here, probably.
