OOC, why was this changed? Not being familiar with the weird and wonderful ways in which authors use CSS, I'd have thought it not a particularly important use case in CSS2.1, and I wouldn't mind if the spec marked it as undefined whether root list-item becomes block or stays list-item. One reason that root list-item displeases me is that it means that the box tree isn't actually a tree at all, but a forest. Not a huge deal, but it nevertheless seems like more cost than the uses I can see for root list-items (beyond what can be achieved with :before and/or a non-root list-item). pjrm.
