It can probably be argued that LaTeX merely agnostic of the issue, but has a way to infer where \parskip\indent should go. This distinction may seem to be a too fine one to make, but as far as the formatting machinery of TeX is concerned, it becomes all vmode and hmode boxes anyway. Importantly however, in the HTML4 document model paragraphs cannot contain any blocklevel elements and that includes lists and paragraphs themselves. The visual result could be faked much in the same way that LaTeX does by having two different classes for the

element, but this adds another level of complexity that all export backends need to deal with when the construct should be portable.
