Default Creating nongraphical inline-bullets that validate

I was working on a similar situation the past couple days. What do you use for a bullet? My particular concern for this was Accessibility standards. To meet WAI standards, adjacent links must be separated by non-white-space printable characters. I have frequently used &middot; (& middot;) for such purposes, or the "pipe" character, |. It is also possible to create the effect of a separator with CSS using a well-defined <span> class.

One advantage of the | character is that Jaws, a Windows screen reader, ignores it.
