  • #2 Only `list-style-type` values are supported.
  • #3 `list-style-image` values are not supported but the rest of the `list-style` property is kept.
  • #4 `url()` is transformed into `proton-url()` for `list-style-type` values, invalidating the entire property.

Tests and support are based on the CSS Level 2 specification. `<custom-ident>`, `symbols()` and `<string>` values are not tested here.
