This is closer.. except the '#' isn't part of the marker.  What I'm getting is

#  1.content
#  2.content
        :
#10.content

which means the octothorpe is overlaid on the index number when the
number of digits becomes large enough.  I'm also not getting a space
between the marker and the content, although that might be a
consequence of weird inheritance.  So far I haven't been able to
figure out how to get Firebug to show me style information for
pseudo-elements like '::before', so I'm not sure.

What I'm hoping for is more like:

  #1. content
 #10. content
#100. content

with a marker right-aligned within its box, including an initial '#',
and separated by some whitespace from the list-item content's
margin/indent.

Thanks!
