I just noticed that LI doesn't have any attributes.

One of the frequently asked questions on netnews is where to get the little
coloured spheres people use at list bullets... and put in the attributes
to LI:

<!ATTLIST LI
        icon     %URL;  #IMPLIED -- image for use in place of bullet --
        label   CDATA   #IMPLIED -- when you can't show the icon image --
>

This seems to be widely used & currently supported, were the attributes left
off by mistake?

I have added them to the DTD we're using for HoTMetaL for the time being,
with a comment about who put them there.
