Hi Ed,
Something must be wrong with your setup, because both
work for me.  That is, when I process with the html
or xhtml stylesheet and no customizations, I get
type="disc".  When I set css.decoration to 0, I don't
get type="disc".  When I use your customization, I
don't get type="disc".

I'm using XSL 1.60.1 and xsltproc (libxslt 10023).

Are your other customizations working?  Is it possible
there is another match="itemizedlist"?
