The only way I can see use a wrapper and tweak to suit...

<style type="text/css">
..gotClass { margin-left: 35%; }
..gotClass UL { margin-left: 0; padding-left: 0;}
</style>


<div class="gotClass">
<h2>List Title:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Item 1.</li>
<li>Item two is a lot longer.</li>
<li>Item three is, also.</li>
</ul>
</div>

Put title in a H# block seems more appropriate if it is a title for the
block (this case a list) to follow.
