Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you mean you want bulletless and
numberless list items? This would be easier to implement if we
used an attribute to LI which held the alternate bullet character,
or null ("") if no bullet/number was required. I don't have the
DTD to hand as I write and I can't remember if such an attribute 
has been suggested or not yet: eg

<li bullet=""> Like this

My own gripe is the enforcement of a <p> within each <li> which
seems to me to be wholly redundant...
