EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are
satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If
you have additional information and would like the Editor to reconsider, please
reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML
Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest
title and text for the Tracker Issue; or you may create a Tracker Issue
yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document:

Status: Rejected
Change Description: none
Rationale: The issue you describe is a real one (as easily exemplified by the
stream of duplicated issues on CKEditor, and several other places) but it's not
a problem for HTML to solve. Also, the proposed solution (as I infer it from
your fiddle) would cause existing content to change styling, most likely in
ways not desired by the authors.

The good news for you is that there is work on addressing this, most notably
through a ::marker pseudo-element that will make styling (and more) of the list
markers easy. See http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-lists/ for further details. I
encourage you to engage with the CSS WG if you wish to help push this further,
and to discuss with browser vendors if you need its implementation prioritised.
