Yes I know.
Let me rephrase the question:

Should the symbols used in epub be identical to those used in the pdf or should the css determine the look of the symbols?
Especially when one considers that most current ebook readers can't display MathML.

Even if I substitute the Symbols:

\definesymbol[uni1][•]
\definesymbol[uni2][–]
\definesymbol[uni3][*]
\definesymbol[uni4][·]

\setupitemgroup [itemize] [1] [symbol=uni1]
\setupitemgroup [itemize] [2] [symbol=uni2]
\setupitemgroup [itemize] [3] [symbol=uni3]
\setupitemgroup [itemize] [4] [symbol=uni4]

I get a result that neither ADE nor Calibre interprets as a list.
(Wrapping it in <ul> </ul> doesn't help.)
