Syntax
Description
This shorthand property sets all three list style properties simultaneously. Note that an omitted property value will be set to that property’s initial value.
Example
This style rule uses inheritance to set
the list marker for items within the element with ID
"legal" to be uppercase Latin letters that appear
inside the list items’ principal block boxes:
#legal {
list-style: upper-latin inside;
}Value
Refer to the individual properties for information on allowed and initial values.

The bug Paul describes is still present in IE8 :-(

I'd expect to see the individual properties listed as Related Reading...

There seems to be to be a shorthand bug in IE6 and 7 where it won't hide the list-image with list-style:none but only with list-style-image:none;
A simple test confirms this:
ul{
list-style-type: square;
list-style-image: url(bullet.gif);
padding: 1em;
margin: 0;
list-style:none;
/*list-style-image:none; IE would also need this*/
}
<ul>
<li>testing</li>
</ul>
