The mac text API should not include list bullets in its text interface.

The plot thickens. Safari has some interesting, arguably inconsistent, behavior I'm inclined to replicate it in Firefox.
For the given markup: data:text/html,<ul><li>hello</li><li>world</li></ul>
If you created two markers: a = markerAtIndex(0) and b = markerAtIndex(4) you would get some interesting numbers.
The "index" value of b is 4. The length of the range from a to be is also 4. BUT the length of the text value of that range is 6 as it includes the bullet ("* hell").

We need to navigate past bullets when moving markers by character or word,
but we need to still include bullets when retrieving the string of a given
marker range.

Depends on D87797
