I pretty much agree w/ Achim. Lists are in general meant to be compact
and have short content. But given that lists are often "abused" to
contain paragraph text, perhaps a better approach would be to wrap
anything in a list element longer than <X> (2 lines, ~160 characters?)
in a paragraph (or multiple if required) and change the default css to
only paragraph space _between_ paragraphs in list elements (i.e., after
all but the last paragraph, or before all but the first.)
