Alternatively, does anyone else think the small element should be capable of wrapping inline and block elements? (raises hand) I agree that allowing small to wrap inlines and blocks addresses Remy's use case directly and would allow authors to create other useful patterns for small print.

Here's the actual example I'm working with: http://2009.full-frontal.org/ticket-draw (at the bottom of the page) You can see that I've had to wrap each inner li element, and also that the li bullet sizes don't match that of the text. It seems logical to me to wrap the entire ol element in

I should add, another argument for using small to wrap, is that without it, on a list element, the numerals in the list are larger than the the small print text - because the small element is on the inner HTML rather than the entire element (which does effect the numeric bullets too).
