Sorry but when I'm flooded by questions I tend not to answer them
precisely (yes, this is not very professional). Today I've more time so
here's the real answers to your esthetical questions.

You have 2 solutions (I take a XHTML example you can easily adapt to
your needs)

Excerpt from our original XHTML CSS, which according to you this looks
bad (I use a 1600x1200 screen so I don't even see the bullets and
therefore I cannot tell you how they look ;-):

ul > li:before {
    display: marker;
    content: disc;
}

Solution 1, use math symbol "\2219" instead of built-in disc icon
(marker text is aligned on its baseline, marker images are aligned on
their top -- this is specified by CSS recommendation):

ul > li:before {
    display: marker;
    content: "\2219";
}

Solution 2, draw your own bullet leaving some space at the top of it
(see attached bullet.gif)

ul > li:before {
    display: marker;
    content: url(bullet.gif);
}

Solution 1 is more efficient than solution 2 but both are standard CSS
and they solve your problem.
