mrmikel: Yes, but that shouldn't be pinging in ePUBcheck; we all use list styles, i.e., numeric or...oh, wait. No we don't. When I read this last night, I mis-read it as "numeric or bulleted." You're absolutely right. That's what's wrong, you cannot set that in any ePUB today, AFAIK.

Jellby: Dunno. I've not seen it work anywhere, but, n.b., I have not tried to make an ePUB that will work on ePUB3 readers. (Yes, I know you said ePUB2, but my experience so far is that for real reading devices, list-style-type doesn't work. It likely works, I'd suspect, in browser-based readers like ePUBReader. Haven't tested it, as we haven't ever made a book strictly for that market/reader.)
