I don't follow your illustration, but from your verbal description
you are seeing what is intended, i.e. that the bullet is omitted but the
first line of actual text in the LI starts in the same place it would have
with a bullet (defined via the "first line indent" in the stylesheet, and
and subsequent lines of the same LI start at the "second line indent"
setting. In effect, the "bullet" for PLAIN is
There is nothing in RFCs which describes how lists should be
displayed. A client need not use indentation at all (and the W3C
linemode browser, for example, doesn't).
Lynx has six stylesheets for UL, which are invoked for progressively
nested ULs, with progressively greater first and second line indents
defined.
