I agree with Patrick - I'd use background-image instead of list-style-image as you have far more control over the placement of the image using the background-position property. Russ > Alternatively, you could try and add left-hand padding and place the > star as a non-repeating background image

We might think implicit labels (LABEL - WRAPPING) as a transitional markup :-) In HTML Techniques fo WCAG 2.0 (status: WD), explicit labels are favorable, and implicit labels are 'deprecated', said "do not use the label element implicitly." http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-HTML-TECHS/#label I thin

I think your first sample (LABEL - NOT WRAPPING) is favorable for semantic markup. Because it shows 'directly connection.' WCAG 1.0 needs to "associate labels explicitly with their controls", that is, "in HTML use LABEL and its 'for' attribute" as priority 2. http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/#gl-compl

Hi I think "John", "Betty", "Steve" or "Jane" are always more preferable labels, if my drift is seen ;), otherwise, the person tends to become the label in societal eyes. Interestingly, "dis" comes from the latin and can mean "absence", "bad" or similar. See: http://dictionary.reference.com/searc
