The Macintosh version of the 13th Jan release produces a pretty similar output, although as I have the "output-xml" option in config set to "no", it gives an HTML 2.0 Doctype, and creates the Style entry in the header. One does wonder where the "-2em" comes from, but while this is a good party trick, should we really worry if such a non-sensical input gives a rubbish output? After all, what is the excuse always trotted out for computers - "Garbage in - garbage out!" Incidentally, Netscape 4.7 on the Mac displays your example below "sensibly", in that the bullet is pretty hard against the left margin, but it doesn't lose the first word, or anything for that matter.
