Jag beslutade mig för låta chefen få rätt;-) På Internet hittade jag nämligen detta, som lät riktigt vettigt:

When do I use periods and when do I leave bulleted items without end punctuation?
RULE: Use periods after independent clauses, dependent clauses, or long phrases that are displayed on separate lines in a list. Example:
In this project, the equipment shall consist of:
Three horizontal centrifugal pumps with design temperature of 100 degrees F.
Three electric motors, in accordance with Appendices II and IIA.
Three steel base frames.
RULE: Use periods after short phrases that are essential to the grammatical completeness of the statement introducing the list. Example:
There are a number of tags used in HTML, including:
Image tags.
Background tags.
Paragraph tags.
RULE: It\'s not necessary to use periods after short phrases or single words in a list, if the introductory statement is grammatically complete (see below) or if the listed items are like those on an inventory sheet or a shopping list. Example:
The software in this price range offers many excellent features:
Windows 9x and up
Audio pronunciations
Rebate
Tutorial
RULE: When one item contains a complete sentence, punctuate all bulleted items as though they were complete sentences: capitalize the beginning words and use a period at the end of each item. Example:
You will not be accepted if you have been diagnosed with:
Arthritis.
High blood pressure.
Asthma or some allergies. Please list your allergies and give date of last flare-up.
RECOMMENDATION: If you\'re creating a long document full of bulleted items, you may choose to be consistent and end each item with a period.
