Legal documents often use various indicators for list items. E.g.

These indicators are part of the content and cannot be governed by style
sheets.
This looks like part of a more general problem to me. There are more
situations where you want custom content in the place of list indicators:
For example, in a CV you might want the years there:
1977 ...
1978-1982 ...
Or, very common in forms, a check box or radio button:
o ...
o ...
Third (this a pure style problem though), sometimes you want just some
custom character there, such as an n-dash:
– ...
– ...
While the third one can be achieved with al list-style-image, with the
downside that it will not be affected by changes of the text size, the
other examples need complex CSS trickery including floats, or layout tables.
