No, not in CSS in a manner that would work in most browsing situations.

Maybe you can use server-side generated content, so that the numbering 
appears as part of the list items (in which case you would make the best 
effort of preventing browsers from adding their own numbering, i.e. would 
use list-style-type: none if you use list markup).

Or maybe you could consider using client-side scripting that adds the 
numbering, assuming that you find it acceptable that some default numbering 
(or no numbering) appears when client-side scripting is off.

That does not quite mean using "decimal points", but your point is taken. 
:-) Such numbering systems are used in some contexts, and it would be nice 
to be able to use them via CSS. But this would require using generated 
content and counters, which are not supported by the most common browser, IE 
(in any version up to and including the latest version IE 7).
