Comment (by sabernhardt):
I have used `display: block` with a custom `::after` pseudo-element
indicator, similar to [https://www.sitepoint.com/style-html-details-
element/#usingafterasamarkerwithoutabackgroundimage SitePoint's border
example]. My styles also involved absolute position, but SitePoint's
example uses `flex`. Articles on [https://css-tricks.com/using-styling-
the-details-element/ CSS-Tricks] and
[https://web.dev/learn/html/details/#toggling_the_summary_marker web.dev]
do not suggest `block` display.
With Twenty Sixteen, I removed the selector in the child theme's
stylesheet for one site, and for another site I specified `inline-block`
with a custom `::after` pseudo-element.
The possibility seems small now, but if anyone expects the `block` display
to remain, that could give two indicators. Then again, if the themes would
update to a more recent version of normalize.css, that would //set//
display to `list-item`.
