You could take a look at the mechanisms that NodeList uses to keep its lists up
to date. The requirements of a TagNodeList are quite similar to what a list
would need to do to keep track of its list items. The functions
notifyNodeListsAttributeChanged and notifyNodeListsChildrenChanged are part of
what makes node lists work.

We may need to do more of this on the render tree side instead of the DOM tree.
An element with "display: list-item" contributes to list numbering too. In
fact, I think that may be something wrong with the current code and patch. We
need some test cases that use CSS to create list items or to turn list items
into non-list-item content.
