Thanks for the info.  I guess the following is the proper way to reset 
counters (and many other properties) using CSS in HTML 4.x.   I've used 
pieces of this before but never the before/after/marker psuedo-elements. 

http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-lists-20021107/#introduction


Here is an example I found on anther listserv:

ol::before, ul::before { content: "" /* or a new value that's better */; 
counter-reset: list-item; }

ol[start]::before { conter-reset: list-item attr(start); }

li { counter-increment: list-item; }

li[value] { counter-reset: list-item attr(value); }
