I've got an other use case : the bible and its verses. Would you accept a markup like : <ol><li>In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.</li><li>And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.</li><li>And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.</li>[...]</ol>? The bible is not a "list" of phrases. The markup could be even more complicated because verses are sometimes gathered in paragraphs... -- Olivier G. http://www.lespacedunmatin.info/blog/
