I believe so, but it seems like this would be good to add to Markdown 
OUTSIDE of any css/class/style/id stuff.  Sticking with the idea that a 
Markdown document should emulate plain english (or other language) 
documents it makes sense: I frequently use documents that list objects 
by letter rather than number, and built in support in Markdown would be 
handy.

I would agree that getting fancy with the bullets in an <ul> should not 
be part of the base Markdown syntax, and is best left to CSS.

IMHO....
