Wondering how we can get CSS to specifity the spearator used in ordered

I would argue that this is perfectly good markup & styling:
<ol>
<li>1 - Aardvark</li>
<li>2 - Banshee</li>
<li>3 - Cicada</li>
</ol>
and then:
ol li
{
list-style-type: none;
}
Just because browsers can automatically number ordered list items doesn't
mean we have to let them do it. If you can't control the list item
punctuation and the default rendering doesn't work for your application, I
say suppress it and insert your own. I don't remember seeing any
restriction in the W3C specs on the textual content of list items.
