[jats-list] Lists with a single item are valid, will they always be?

["Chiara Del Vescovo chiara.delvescovo@xxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
The definition of lists in
https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/tag-library/1.4/element/list.html states
that they are sequences "of two or more items, which may or may not be
ordered". However, lists with a single item are valid against the DTD, and
indeed we do have plenty of examples in our catalogue of such lists.
Will this always be the case, or do you think it's possible that sooner or
later the DTD may get changed to align with the description?
I'm just a tiny bit nervous about the impact that this could have, so looking
for reassurance!
Best wishes,
Chiara
