Consider this testcase:

<ol>
  <div><li>One</li></div>
  <li>Two</li>
  <li>Three</li>
</ol>

This is numbered "1, 2, 3" by Gecko, WebKit, IE7 and before, and IE quirks mode.

It's numbered "1, 1, 2" by IE8 and IE9 standards modes and Presto.

I'm pretty sure that at least for quirks mode pages depend on this behavior.  I would also somewhat prefer that the behavior here not depend on mode...

Note that for <ol reversed> this also raises the question of how the start value is computed.

Making this a higher priority to actively seek more feedback on from implementers and webdevs.
