Thanks for doing this so quickly.

I think there's some confusion in our terminology here.  If you refer 
back to the html page on findlaw, it's the formatting in 6.4(d)(i) that 
I'm talking about.

In IE 6, your 6.4(d)(i) wraps the text at the end of the line so that it 
is flush left with the number (i), rather than indenting all the text 
off to the right of the number.

It is possible to get it more right (but perfect, i'm not sure?), in 
some browsers at least...  Would you mind having another look at that?

This is important, because this kind of presentation apppears in a great 
many contracts, often right up to the "Article" level.

Once you've had a crack at this, I'll check how it looks in various 
versions of IE, Netscape, and some of the Mac browsers.

I'll remove the cross-ref, party and definition markup from my XML, and, 
if you don't mind, the Page, PageBody, and RunningBody container as well 
as Header and Footer elements from yours, and  then we'll be able to 
compare the core representations.
