Of paras and block elements

I think I've raised this issue before.  It's an unfortunate
problem that DocBook allows

  <para>...<itemizedlist>...</itemizedlist>...</para>

but HTML does not allow:

  <p>...<ul>...</ul>...</p>

I'd really like to fix this so that the HTML produced by the
stylesheets is valid.  I'm considering changing the stylesheet
so that it produces empty <p> tags (or <p> tags with end-tag
mimimization, if you prefer to think of it in valid terms ;-)

  <p>...<ul>...</ul>...

This will make the HTML valid in many more cases, I think.

Thoughts?

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
