Nick is arguing for consistency and completeness. Others are arguing for
convenience. Bastien is siding with hope :-).

I am with Nick on this debate. Nick has made his position stronger by
offering suitable alternatives.

Considering the patch has aleready been accepted I would recommend that
this feature (a quirk?) be not documented at all.

I wish we could emulate the example of Nicolas Goaziou here. Every time
he makes changes to docbook or html or latex exporters due to some
changes in the lists, I cannot stop admiring him ...
