IE still has that problem?  I remember being bitten by that quite a few 
years ago, and removed my custom <li> bullets completely since they 
always showed up late and caused text to 'jump' when they loaded (since 
they changed the line height a bit).  :\

The issue doesn't seem to be as bad now as it was then, but I'm 
surprised they haven't done better.
