I probably wrote too briefly to be clear--"my"
(actual credits due to longer-term members of
this list) method could be used for "regular"
bullets if you created an image of the one you
want.
The advantage of turning off the browser bullet,

and adding a background bullet image,

is that the result is entirely within the li
(but aligns like an outside bullet) so it is
not so easily lost in whitespace covered by
another element. I have seen variations on this
in alistapart and, as can be seen in the other
responses you got, there are many ways to attack
the "misplaced bullets" problem.
A disadvantage, of course, is that it is hard to
avoid spending time being creative about the dot
itself, LOL.
