> Not depending on CSS is intentional. Doing so would be a layering violation. 

Right. Maybe I didn't express my thoughts clearly. I was not trying to say that it should depend on CSS but simply define this matter in a way that would not interfere with CSS. But now I see that's not the point of that definition.

> What the spec is defining is just the ordinal value of the list items; it doesn't require that this has anything to do with the rendering. All the spec says is that by default, user agents are expected to use the ordinal value to render the list item of <li>s in <ol>s;

OK, that makes sense. 

> that's just a suggestion, basically (though one we should follow).

Well, it can't be followed because of CSS.

It appears that the correct solution here would be to keep track of list item count in terms of HTML as well as CSS. The former for the sake of the DOM interface and the latter for rendering.

Thanks for the clarification.
