docbook style sheets or jadetex problem?

Hello,

I ran into another oddity: I tried to reduce the huge space at the
begin of a list in Norms style sheets.  But I could net get into
control over that space.  In dblist.dsl I found:

(define ($list$)
  (make display-group
    start-indent: (if (INBLOCK?)
		        (inherited-start-indent)
				      (+ %block-start-indent%
  (inherited-start-indent)))
    space-before: (if (INLIST?) %para-sep% %block-sep%)
    space-after:  (if (INLIST?) %para-sep% %block-sep%)))

I modified space-before: to 0pt and even to negative values.  While
positive values are properly added to the gap, there is always a
minimum gap of %block-sep% and I can't see why.

Thanks a lot

/Jerry
