Re: colours for bullets - this one is simple, works, & addresses

Wouldn't this be better served with a more generalised 'sidebar' markup?
I'm not sure, but I seem to recall this being mentioned back with the HTML+
spec times?

Off the top of my head it would also seem to be more of a class distinction
than additional html tags since this really is about display.

| David,

You've never seen a book or article with a table or list in the middle of
a paragraph?  It's not really that uncommon.  I've certainly seen
- tables
- figures
- lists
- code segments
and other insertions in the middle of paragraphs.  Why not?
