Enumerator spacing in bullet lists with mom

Hi,

I am currently testing the mom and mm macro packages, and noticed that
mom uses sensible defaults for almost anything out of the box.

Bullet lists (or lists with other static enumerators like dashes),
however, are set with very little space between the enumerator and the
item text. This is not true for ALPHA or DIGIT lists, which are set very
well.

I wonder if I am doing something wrong – because the spacing looks really
bad in an otherwise properly formatted document – and how the spacing can
be changed manually (in case I did not do anything wrong).

This is my test file:

.PAPER A4

.TITLE "Some Title"
.AUTHOR "Jan Eden"
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
.FAMILY Garamond
.START

.HEADING 1 "First Heading"
.PP
Some text ...
.LIST
.ITEM
First item
.ITEM
Second item
.LIST OFF

Creating a similar document with mm (with the .BL macro) resulted in proper 
spacing.

- Jan
