Many times in my technical writing, I want a subordinate thought expressed as a sub-paragraph.

I've tried using <longquote> - that's OK but it also indents the right margin - I only want the left margin indented.

I've tried using <itemizedlist> - that works if I use an undocumented "mark" attribute to turn off the bullet. (Looking at docbook 1.72.0 I found you can set the "mark" attribute to "none")

The best would be to allow <para> to have nested <para> elements, with the semantics of the nested ones would be indented relative to their (immediately) containing <para> nodes. This has less "tag" overhead (meaning, the number of elements / attributes needed to specify) than the other two approaches above. Has this been considered?
