Yes that's a very good article.  I kind of figured it out with a
little trial-and-error, but that article helped me to understand
better.

One thing that I didn't understand at first is that it's not actually
a way to manipulate the automatic counter used by list items, but a
way to create a new counter that can be used by any element.

I like helping people solve problems on this list... it's like a set
of mind puzzles or brain-teasers for me, but it's even better when I
