Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any such plans. That wouldn't work with existing user agents like Internet Explorer. (If you are planning to continue the abuse of the HTML MIME type.) As Internet Explorere has an HTML (tag soup) parser and not a parser that can handle XHTML it will assume a </p> when it enounters a block level element, just like other existing UAs do for text/html documents which is also compliant with the HTML 4 specification. However, I don't think having the list inside the paragraph is the proper solution for this particular situation. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
