What about the bullet lists?
Lists have always been problematic in the mobi format.

Basically, if you have a "list" of things (like a ToC) and you don't want them to have any bullets (or numbers for that matter), then you probably shouldn't be using html list elements (<ul>, <ol>) in the first place. They don't really gain you anything (heck, I don't even use them when I do want something numbered or bulleted). Just use paragraphs. Style those paragraphs with margin-left (or use blockquotes) if you need indentation.

<ol>, <ul>, and <li> and all the css attributes that can be recognized/utilized (or will be recognized/utilized) varies so wildly and renders so differently on different devices/apps (ePub AND MOBI both) that I just don't waste my time with them.
