Original description: 
I am trying to reset the page counter in CSS, like so:

#main {
    counter-reset: page 1;
}

This is not working so far. However, I can set user-defined counters, like this:

#main {
    counter-reset: foo 1;
}

Yeah, unfortunately, this isn't supported (nor for that matter is anything 
counter and page related)

You can programatically start a document at an arbitrary page number as well as 
restrict counter(page)/counter(pages) to a range of the document (e.g. number 
pages like

1 of 2
2 of 2
1 of 3
2 of 3
3 of 3

)

While the "-fs-page-sequence: start;" style works for resetting the page 
counter for direct reference, the number appearing in "content: 
target-counter(attr(href), page);" is not reset. If you have a document with a 
cover letter, the page numbering resets for the document, but the TOC will have 
offset page numbering.
