asterisk yields a large circle in SVG

[alicerusso]

minor issue where the SVG is not as expected: For bullet points, asterisks (in text) become filled circles (in SVG) that are too large.

Example in RFC 9594: compare Figure 35 in HTML with Figure 35 in TXT.
Desired output in SVG (e.g., <circle cx="8" cy="96" r="6" class="closeddot" fill="black"/>) would be smaller.

The blob thing is deliberate. Have you considered that maybe bullet lists are better left to text not diagrams? Or that you could use the Unicode bullet or something like "-". People rely on * turning into a disc, so it's tricky changing it.
