Hi Frank, I've thought about this a fair bit and I must admit that I'm also of the opinion that we shouldn't fake lists this way.
1. If CSS has constructs that support nested lists as we need them I think we should use those constructs. If some browsers can't handle them, those browsers should be fixed. (If ie users complain tell them to download moz) 2. I would to think that one day abiword will be able to fully round-trip export and import from (X)HTML. Doing lists this way means we will end up with a fake list in abiword as a collection of tables after reading it back. Cheers Martin
