LGTM! I'm also wondering if it should be enforced through declaration-property-value-disallowed-list in our Stylelint config? @julien-deramond @XhmikosR any thought?

as much as working around Safari's "Apple knows best" approach to semantics ... this PR looks good to me |

not sure if we maybe want to add a comment on the various uses of list-style-type to make it clear why we use it rather than list-style: none or if that's a bit heavy-handed? either way...

Description
Replace
list-style: nonebylist-style-type: ""This is a new PR after I mistakenly closed the previous one (#41651) sorry about that
Motivation & Context
In Safari, using
list-style: nonewill remove its semantic role of list, therefore it will not be announced by screen readers as such. One solution is to addrole: liston each affected lists but that means relying on a good usage and adds unnecessary code. Another solution as explained here is to uselist-style-type: ""instead, this will have the same visual effect but won't remove semantic role.Type of changes
