Auto-number table rows?

Is it possible to auto-number rows of a table, similar to how <LI> is used
to number a series of lines?

From one of my diagnostic user stylesheets:

tr:before {
content: counter(tr) !important;
counter-increment: tr !important;
padding: 0 3px !important;
display: table-cell !important;
}

But ... this works in Opera only.

Looks very interesting.

To the original author, don't forget that CSS should be an optional
layout enhancement of the content presented as HTML. So if it's very
important to have the numbers show, CSS won't do the job. A numbered
<li> is a bit different in that respect because the <ol> is defined in
HTML.
