Description Anton P 2012-01-15 16:44:22 UTC 
Reported by Peter Moulder

12.4.3 (Counters in elements with 'display: none') says:

  # An element that is not displayed ('display' set to 'none') cannot
  # increment or reset a counter.
  # [...]
  # Elements with 'visibility' set to 'hidden', on the other hand, do
  # increment counters.

Which rule wins?

Tests indicate that UAs do not increment counters for 'visibility:hidden' elements that are 'display:none' (or whose parent is 'display:none'), which seems reasonable.
