Unfortunately not - at least not without invalidating your document. 
However, you can achieve the same visual effect by applying a background 
image to the <a> element and switching that with the :hover pseudo selector.

<ul id="myList">
<li><a href="blah.html">watch this</a>
</ul>

ul#myList {
   list-style-type: none;
}
ul#myList a {
   margin-left: 10px;
   background: url(bullet1.gif) #fff left no-repeat;
}
ul#myList a:hover {
   background-image: url(bullet2.gif);
}

I haven't tested the above code but it should have the required effect.

Cheers,
