Unless I'm mistaken, most browsers support definition lists ( which don't
include any bullets etc., in their formatting). So you could use a
definition list, and then drop your graphic in at the beginning of each
section:
<DL>
<DT>Wombats
<DD><IMG SRC="jiffy.gif">cute
<DD><IMG SRC="jiffy.gif">deadly
</DL>

It's an easy solution for those of us who are waiting before switching over
to using style sheets.
