[css-display][css-lists] Is a markerly positioned box out-of-flow?

[Loirooriol]

CSS Lists introduces position: marker, and it says

An element with position: marker counts as absolutely positioned.

However, CSS Display says

A box is out-of-flow if it is floated (via float) or absolutely-positioned (via absolute or fixed positioning).

It does not mention marker despite including fixed, which also counts as counts as absolutely positioned.

Is marker out-of-flow or not?

It's out-of-flow, yes. We're just being overly specific in Display and tying the concept to specific values rather than the general concept. We'll remove that and just say that it's "via position"
