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
