All attempts have been futile. Ideally, I would like
to pre-populate it from an enumerated list in the
schema. Is that achievable?
But in the meantime, it would be great to see a
working example. I searched the distribution, and
couldn't find it. Are there other sources?
Yes, I understand that division(content()) isn't
needed. I didn't trim the example down enough. In
actuallity, there are two lists.

Using your xpath suggestion from below, I found
another way:
graphic:before {
display: block;
content: paragraph(content(image(attr(src)),
xpath("./alt")));
}
Oddly enough, it doesn't work the same using the
almost identical
graphic {
display: block;
content: paragraph(content(image(attr(src)),
xpath("./alt")));
}
The alt is not displaying in the 2nd case. Is there a
reason?

Again, attempts remain futile. A working example

Thanks. That worked applying it to check-box.

No, a few reloads while working on the css tuning.
Admittedly, the working document is graphics heavy.
After I switched to thumbnails, the problem doesn't
occur. Increasing the heap settings in my opinion
will only mask the problem, because the document loads
fine the first time, only the reloads (closing and
re-opening) are causing the issue.

Again, if some of the issues would be fixed by
switching from 2.11 to the new version, I would do
that. I just trying to avoid to run into the same
limitations afterwards.
