Re: [docbook-publishers] linegroups - action from last conf call

That seems like a side-effect. Is there a different approach to the 
model that you'd like to suggest? I don't think it is as intended. I 
think the goal was to provide the basic content structures in dialogue 
and poetry. I guess a bibliolist as a poem would be very creative! A 
limerick or haiku from bibliolist contents might be tough, though :-)
