The typical case would be an ordered list interrupted by some intermediary content, like a paragraph length note on what the group of items below represents. In this case, I too find it extremely inelegant to cut the list in two, and to start the second part from higher up. I'd think that if/when there is a use for this sort of construct, there should be a way to embed non-item content inside a list, either by making the content model (li|%block;)+ or defining a new subelement for non-item intervening content (like (li|list-note)+). In the absence of something like this, the structure of a list will not be faithfully reflected by the structure of the document, which I think constitutes something besides proper, structural markup. -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - mailto:decoy@iki.fi, tel:+358-50-5756111 student/math+cs/helsinki university, http://www.iki.fi/~decoy/front openpgp: 050985C2/025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2
