Note: you don't need to create a stylesheet only for that. the type= is a supported element of the <ul> or <ol> tags. For <ul> it can be "disc", "circle", "square" (these are the only totally all-round supported values. any other value requires a higher version of HTML or whatever). For <ol>, the value of type= can be "A", "a", "I", "i", or "1" (again, these are the only basic totally all-round supported values, unless your page is in HTML version whatever)
If you're using a web browser which was designed in 1999, then maybe it has a few bugs.
However, before you go posting that, i'd suggest you go checking your sources.
The type attribute is DEPRECATED in HTML 4.0 even.
It may work, but is a deprecated tag which in the future will not be supported by any standards and browsers may drop support for it (especially with things like XHTML 2.0).
It was deprecated in favour of the list-style and list-style-type attributes of CSS. Methos2 is designing a site relying on the heavy use of CSS for style information. If a visitor was to visit his site without CSS enabled (or text based browser), and the type attribute was specified, then the list items would NOT appear for the menu and users would probably not be able to establish that that block of text was actually a menu.

To have the same effect but without the bullets, numbers, etc, you need to create a definition list instead of a normal list:
<dl>
<dt>
<dd>
</dl>
Where <dt> is the term being used in the definition and <dd> the definition itself. They have the same ident as in a normal list.
However, they are designed for definitions, not lists of ordinary data. You shouldn't use them unless you're defining something.

There are also other list forms, eg:
<menu>
<li>
<li>
<li>
</menu>
or
<dir>
<li>
<li>
<li>
</dir>
Of which are also deprecated back in HTML 4.0.
