[css-counter-styles-3] fallback for cjk-earthly-branch and cjk-heavenly-stem #8975
Description
As it is being discussed in #8596, it seems the right system for these styles is fixed. With that, the fallback for them becomes more relevant, given they defined just a few symbols (10 and 12). The styles don't explicitly define a fallback, so it is decimal.
I have no knowledge on CJK languages, but I'm wondering if decimal is the best fallback for them. For example, other CJK related styles have cjk-decimal as fallback. So I'd like to discuss if this (or another style) would be a better fallback option here.

We discussed this issue in the Chinese Layout Task Force Teleconference.
The consensus of the task force was that
cjk-decimalis an improvement overdecimal.simp-chinese-informalandtrad-chinese-informalare even better, but sincecjk-earthly-branchandcjk-heavenly-stemdo not distinguish between Simplified and Traditional Chinese, we're OK with keeping it as is (cjk-decimal).vitorroriz commentedon Jul 7, 2023

cjk-earthly-brach-simpandcjk-earthly-branch-tradeach with a specific fallback.[css-counter-styles-3] cjk-earthly-branch and cjk-heavenly-stem shoul…
