Sticking with pure SGML constructs, you should be able to use LINK
and LPDs.  From Goldfarb's "SGML Handbook":


  <!LINK listdash 
         listitem  [ mark=dash ] >
  <!USELINK listdash style1>

Or even:

  <!LINKTYPE style1 general #IMPLIED [
        <!ATTLIST listitem mark NAME normal>
        <!LINK #INITIAL
           listitem  [ mark=dash ]
        >
  ]>

I haven't tested this, however.
