CSS1 support is pretty spotty, so you may be running afoul of syntax issues
here.
But if all you're running afoul of is CSS tags on the list elements, then
perhaps you'll find this quote from the Netscape website helpful:
Assigning styles to the <LI> tag only effect the bullet and not the text
as it should. The <DT>
and <DD> tags have a similar problem. To work around the problem, enclose
the text with a
<SPAN> tag or assign the style to the <UL>, <OL>, or <DL> tag.
