RE: [CSS21] bidi, text-align, and list markers

I am sending the test files I promised though this does not seem to be what this group is focused on today -- I have viewed them in IE; IE automatically puts in different bullet for different list levels which helps solve the problem of clear display of levels;
ie actually does inherit the side (left or right) the bullet will be displayed on from the higher list level unless you explicitly override that by setting the directionality of the list item.
So I feel I have control enough I guess as things are -- and this does not seem to be on today's agenda anyway.

My mistake.

Hi.
Tex, O.k. if these are embedded block elements -- I could not see that from the other example; from your example yes I did see that.
These are good examples of a problem -- perhaps a good reason to have the bullet on the same side for all list items -- but I will have to try some examples first, and will get back on this tomorrow first thing.  
Thanks.
Best,
