https://drafts.csswg.org/css-lists/#marker-side defines marker-side: match-self and marker-side: match-parent.
However, marker-side in an inherited property, so one could set it in the list element like
ol {
marker-side: match-self;
}
expecting that match-self will use the directionality of the ol. But marker-side applies to the list item, so the author should actually use
ol {
marker-side: match-parent;
}
even if it may seem to mean that it will use the directionality of ol's parent.
It can also be confusing because direction applies to ::marker. So somebody could think that marker-side: match-self refers to the ::marker and marker-side: match-parent refers to the ::marker's parent (i.e. the list item).
I think something like marker-side: match-list-item and marker-side: match-list would be much clearer.
