GDP only covered about 30% of the docs, and didn't strictly
enforce the doc policy even within those areas, that's not a good
reason to change the policy.

That's a better reason.

Ok, how about saying that you can have

@itemize
@item foo
@item bar
@end itemize

as long as each item is less than a line.  If there's multiple
lines involved, then do the full

@itemize
@item foo
far

@item bar
boo

@end itemize

or

@itemize
@item
foo far

@item
bar boo

@end itemize


That sound ok?

Cheers,
