| Any suggestions please

Sure:

include "http://docbook.org/xml/5.0b1/rng/docbook.rnc"; {

   db.itemizedlist =
      element itemizedlist {
         db.itemizedlist.attlist,
         db.itemizedlist.info,
         db.listitem+
      }
}

But this'd be even easier if we defined patterns:

  db.itemizedlist.preamble.blocks = db.all.blocks
  db.orderedlist.preamble.blocks = db.all.blocks
  ...

which we could certainly do.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
