I don't think you have any control of the bullets' vertical position, that's
determined by the font designer.  Never really thought about where HTML
bullets come from before this.  Yours seem to be aligning their tops with the
tops of the lowercase letters in the font you're using.  It's rare that fonts
are designed so that lowercase lettertops are exactly 50% the height of
uppercase letters.

If you want to do exact vertical postioning that will always work, I think
you'd have to go with graphic bullets and text.  You might also be able to do
a graphic bullet that you place with the text items in table cells that have
valign properties of "middle".

Nice site.  I like the "Notes from the Market" feature.
