Note:
"The 'counter-increment' property accepts one or more names of
counters (identifiers), each one optionally followed by an integer.
The integer indicates by how much the counter is incremented for every
occurrence of the element. The default increment is 1. Zero and
negative integers are allowed."

In Opera 6+:
ol.reverse.four {
counter-reset: countdown 5;
}
ol.reverse > li {
display: block;
}
ol.reverse > li:before {
counter-increment: countdown -1;
content: counter(countdown) ". ";
}
<ol class="reverse four">
<li>Four</li>
<li>Three</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>One</li>
</ol>
If this ordering is important, though, you're probably better off
reclassifying it as content and putting the numbers in yourself.
