[css-counter-styles] Syriac

[fantasai]

We seem to have lost the Syriac numbering style somewhere along the way, and I couldn't find any discussion about it. Dropping an issue here to track it, in case this is something that needs to be addressed either in css-counter-styles or the i18n Ready-Made Counter Styles note.

From a quick glance, the system described at https://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-lists-20021107/#syriac is a complex system like the ancient Tamil one, so it wouldn't currently fit the mold of the ready-made CS doc.

On the other hand, i just added a proposal for an additive style for Syriac that could go in that document if i can get some Syriac (Assyrian) user to check it. See w3c/predefined-counter-styles#44

I think we need to use the complex style rather than the additive style i was proposing.

The question is where to describe the style:

1. in the Counter Styles spec (like Tamil for instance)
2. in the Ready Made Counter Styles note (which until now points to the spec for anything that can't be achieved using the standard patterns)

Any suggestions?
