Gah! It *was* operator error. I must have read it through 10 times
before sending. Just as the gmail "Undo" window closed, I saw it.

I was missing the '.' seperating the bullets. I had

       '(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1." . "A.") ("A."  "1.") )

when I needed

       '(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1." . "A.") ("A." . "1.") )

Sorry for the noise and thanks for the fix!

Sheepishly,
