Below is a 1. Possible Solution, and 2. My Personal Opinions.
1. Possible Solution: It's not an IE rendering issue.
A. On line 19, of the file "default_css_35.css" the list markers are set to
display none for class "accountinfo". Override the inheritance, one possible
solution, declare a *very* specific selector. E.g. Declare ".accountinfo
#content ul#list-with-marker ". Google "CSS Specificity" for details. Use
Firebug to see the inheritance.
B. Avoid inline styles. If you can't access the stylesheet, put the styles
in the head tag.
C. Resetting styles, e.g. Zeroing margin/padding is good practice. Browsers
have different defaults. See

2. Personal Opinions
A. Web Producers is not a CSS discussion board. I believe you would get
better answers on:
http://www.css-discuss.org/
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=53
B. CSS is a misunderstood language. It's better to understand how it works,
than find workarounds. Don't fight the technology, or you'll lose. See the
Box Model, Specificity, the cascade, advanced selectors, etc.
I hope you find this helpful,
