CSS Lists and Counters spec says:
An element that does not generate a box ... cannot set, reset, or increment a counter. The counter properties are still valid on such an element, but they must have no effect.
While there is an issue listed in CSS Display spec says:
ISSUE 1

currently only has an effect on box generation and layout. Other things that care about the document tree are unaffected, like counter scopes. Is this what we want?
I'm not sure if there is any normative text in CSS Display spec leads to that issue, but given that the issue exists, there might be some disagreement between the two specs we may want to resolve.
