Sometimes when you load the first time, half of them show up - the other half are gone - but a
reload brings them back. It's very random.

Hi Shelly,
As far as I know, the used DOC-type can have reasonable influence on the
presentation of list-items with self made bullets.
My experience is that all browsers use their own definition for the
position of a replaced bullet. Vertical position is often different
(depending of the image-format, line-height, and so on). Especially they
are different at enlarging the fontsize clientside. Therefore I'm using
allways the bg-route to get things cross-browser.
Tried your code plus the bg-thing in this testpage
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/foolish-li.htm>.
And, aha, with background bullets IE doesn't let the bullets disappear.
But I can validate IE sucks!
