A different use case in the same problem field: Often you have lists
that are actually part of a paragraph, but cannot be correctly
associated with the paragraph:
<p>Text before ...</p>
<p>There are lots of fruits available, e.g.:</p>
<ul>
<li>Apples</li>
<li>Pears</li>
</ul>
<p>More Text...</p>
More appropriate markup for this could be achieved with the LH suggestion:
<p>Text before ...</p>
<ul>
<lh>There are lots of fruits available, e.g.:</lh>
<li>Apples</li>
<li>Pears</li>
</ul>
<p>More Text...</p>
Anyway I would consider it even more appropriate to allow the list
inside a paragraph:
<p>Text before ...</p>
<p>There are lots of fruits available, e.g.:
<ul>
<li>Apples</li>
<li>Pears</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>More Text...</p>
But I admit I have no idea what other problems this could cause.
