Aha, so you really *do* want margin-top then!  :-)  
Okay, try the following:

    $HTMLStylesFmt[] = ' ul.spaced li { margin-top: 1em; } ';

And then use

    * %block spaced% here is a spaced bullet
    * another bullet
    * ..etc..

There's not a pure-wikistyles way to get what you want (i.e., without
defining the CSS class), because it's not easy to get a wiki style
to be added to each item in the list.  However, you can sort of do
it this way:

    %define=s2 item margin-top:1em%

    * %s2% here is a spaced bullet
    * %s2% another spaced bullet
    * %s2% ..etc..

where the %s2% says to add spacing before the current item.

And I'm guessing there's some reason you don't want to just do:

    * here is a spaced bullet

    * another spaced bullet

    * ..etc..
