Known bug. What's stopping its' resolution is that CSS doesn't define a
property for "margin from start of line" but only "margin from
left/right". Thus, you cannot give <ol>s and <ul>s a direction-dependant
style.
Konqueror (KHTML) solves it by defining in its' html4.css file:
*[dir="rtl"] UL,
*[dir="rtl"] OL,
*[dir="rtl"] DIR,
*[dir="rtl"] MENU,
*[dir="rtl"] DD {
margin-right:40px;
margin-left: auto;
}
but this is not entirely correct, since it ignores the possibility of
setting a direction with CSS property 'direction'. For example, it
won't catch this:
<html style="direction:rtl">
<body>
<ul>
<li>foobar</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
On Linux.org.il, we also use a similar workaround in our stylesheet,
http://www.linux.org.il/main_style :
/* Due to limitations of CSS, I let it have margins on both sides :) */
ul, ol, dir, menu
{
margin-left:40px;
margin-right:40px;
padding-left:0px; /* Mozilla uses padding instead of margins */
padding-right:0px;
}
Just insert this style into your HTMLs and you'll be fine :)

See their persistent-style.css:
/*workaround for bug 74880 */
ul, ol, blockquote {
padding-right: 40px;
}
