[css-pseudo] [css-content] [css-lists] Does the properties applied to elements apply to ::marker?

[bleper]

Considering the following:

The contents of the marker box are determined as defined by the content property, exactly as for ::before — [CSS-LISTS]

contents: The element’s descendants [...] Check to see that it is not set on a "previous" pseudo-element, in the following order, depth first: the element itself, ::before, ::after — [CSS-CONTENT]

And:

<style>
   li {content: none;
      &::marker {content: contents}}
</style>
<ul>
   <li><p>
</ul>

Will what is mentioned in the title be true?

Also, what will happen in this case?

li {content: none;
   &::before {content: contents;
      &::marker {content: contents}}}

Will there be no duplication of elements here (which the specification is clearly trying to avoid)?

I think this brings up the question of, should we remove the contents value? I can't think of any use case for it that isn't satisfied by normal.
