I don't think there's an actual contradiction. The spec describes the default behavior of list items, but then specifies that other things happen through the values of CSS properties that are in the UA stylesheet. This is the normal way that things evolve when CSS adds a CSS explanation for an existing feature and part of that CSS explanation lives in the UA stylesheet. This has been under discussion in the CSS working group for... over a decade now, so I wouldn't say that there hasn't been any cross-browser discussion of it. That said, the specs could certainly coordinate better. -David -- π L.
