--- I'm still thinking about the other email, but i would discourage
the use of generated content for 2 reasons.
Browsers that don't support it are NOT displaying some pretty
important information!!!
Secondly, i would argue that the "-" sign has semantic value. In lists
the "," is presentational, whereas in -$9.99 the "-" has meaning. It
would be like rending Drop Caps with CSS, then your paragraph would
read "t was a dark and stormy night" rather than "It was ..."
That's my +2 cents,
