The identifier "leftcontent" is not semantic but reflects the intended
rendering, so it does not fit into the idea of separating content from
presentation.
Setting "background-color" without setting "color "is pointlessly risky,
especially since "transparent" is the default value.
Setting "list-style-position" is generally pointless after setting
"list-style" to "none". What does it matter where you position a nonexistent
marker?

Huh? This, together with the Subject-line, suggests that you are doing
something that supposedly aligns to the right. What else is there that you
are not telling us? Besides the URL, that is.

What bullet point? You just said list-style: none.

Miraculously, the nonexistent bullet does not care whether it is outside or
inside! Oh, you nonchalant universe! What a Weltschmerz we must experience!
