This looks like part of a more general problem to me. There are more situations where you want custom content in the place of list indicators: For example, in a CV you might want the years there: 1977 ... 1978-1982 ... Or, very common in forms, a check box or radio button: o ... o ... Third (this a pure style problem though), sometimes you want just some custom character there, such as an n-dash: ? ... ? ... While the third one can be achieved with al list-style-image, with the downside that it will not be affected by changes of the text size, the other examples need complex CSS trickery including floats, or layout tables.
