No, I think styling is beyond our scope. I think the tagging thing is in fact the same use case the rdf/a and micro-formats folks are dealing with: defining document content as metadata. So being able to tag a name as an author, etc. We have talked about styles as a potentially smart implementation mechanism, but that's another issue. Also, my sense based on what Gary earlier said is the LegalXML people simply wanted lists to be able to be children of paragraphs. This is another one of those structural problems (like captions) I noted on the TC list. It makes no sense that ODF and XHTML 1 don't allow stuff like blockquotes and lists to be children of paragraphs. But I see that as out of scope. Bruce
