 > Those bullets shouldn't hang out.

 That's pretty standard typography, bullets should hang left of in left-to-
 right text. Unless you meant "those bullets shouldn't overlap the caption"
 in which case, I agree.

 For the hanging punctuation conventions, where bullets should be outside
 the margin of the list, see:

 - http://www.markboulton.co.uk/journal/five-simple-steps-to-better-
 typography-part-2 for a better explanation.
 - http://www.showthedata.com/2009/02/hanging-punctuation/ pointing out the
 the Bringhurst "Bible" mentions this.
 - I had to open up my copy. :) Page 304, under "Bullets": "Bullets are
 commonly hung, like numbers, in the margin to mark items as a list..."

 So it's both a matter of personal preference and readability -- and
 sticking with common conventions.
