I don't see how they can justify resistance to this one - if they monitor
this list and the myriad of WWW newsgroups they can't belp but notice that
people are asking for ways to do a non-bulletted list on a regular basis.

All they need to do is modify the code to just not insert a bullet of any
kind, or if that is too hard, create a new 'bullet' style of 'plain' that
is just a null graphic.
