On http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/ol.html#ol-css ,
I find "margin-after, margin-before, margin-end, margin-start,
padding-start". Is this CSS 5 ?

I guess it's ISS (Improved Style Sheets) 0.9. :-) They seem to have such
property names all around the document. I'll email the editor; I'm
pretty sure it's an oversight.

Logical properties for margins and other properties have been discussed
in the CSS Working Group for at least a decade, but I don't think they
have reached a conclusion so far.

It seems that the -before, -after, -start and -end suffixes have been
introduced by W3 for the FO (Formatting Objects) recommendation:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/

Not exactly for margins, but for other spacing properties. The
correspondence with -top, -bottom etc. depends on the rendering direction.

CSS3 as far as I can tell.

They are mostly for bidi usage. Check this out (if it will be of help):
<http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-writing-modes/>

The most useful/helpful (to me) is Mozilla's test case for their (-moz-)
implementation:
