Isn't proper XHTML "perfect" enough? And still, isn't the fact that a new \item appears enough reason to assume that the previous \item should be closed off? => enough for TeX; obviously not for XML. After xml export is switched on, automatically an export folder will be created while compiling. The folder contains several files, e.g. a bla-raw.xml and bla-div.xhtm, bla-tag.xhtml (two XHTMLs, structured in different ways). Compare XML and XHTML and you'll see differences. Using a structured TeX file (startitem/stopitem &c.pp.) and you'll see even more differences. But I am not an expert in web formats. For XML uses, ConTeXt user group recommend these structured ways of coding, and I use it for XML export. Just for PDFs, I am using the simple code (just \item and so on)---that's it. Hence ... But to require it everywhere? => noooo, again: It is NOT required anywhere! It is not even required for XML exports, but just recommended. It depends on complexity of your code: For simple text design it won't be necessary probably; for more complex text designs maybe it will be better to use it to get better (more similar) XML counterparts to the resulting PDFs ... I don't know. If you're interested (at least it seems so), just find it out, since ConTeXt is part of TeXlive or has a small, powerful and most current standalone version at contextgarden.net. Maybe you'll like it ...? ;) Anyway, this discussion is veering off-topic... => Yes, a bit.
