Description

We don't talk about what gets read out for list styling, so we need to specify that more clearly. (It kinda can be argued to fall out from the definition of the content property and @counter-style’s speak-as descriptor but we need to be clearer about it.)

Additional discussion on this topic that should probably be triaged:

Research direction

Start with the CSS Lists Level 3 specification, especially the list styling definitions, the content property, and the counter-style speak-as descriptor. Review the linked mailing-list discussion and determine the intended speech-output behavior. Done means the specification clearly states what assistive technology should read for list styling.
