Hi Stefan,
The para.properties attribute set was added in version 1.77.1 of the stylesheets. Formerly it was just the normal.para.spacing attribute set, which adds space before and after a para. But normal.para.spacing was used for many elements besides para to set the spacing between block elements, so a new attribute set was added for just paras.

I believe originally the normal.para.spacing properties were avoided on the first list para because in FO processors of the time mistakenly added the space-before and messed up the vertical alignment between the list mark and the first line of text. I don't think that is the case any more, so this should probably be considered a bug. Could you file a bug report on the SourceForge site so it can get fixed?

Subject: [docbook] Potential bug with paras nested in listitems

Hi all,

I discovered this while trying out some attributes for paras: for the
first para inside a list-item, the "para.properties" attribute set is
not applied. (See the template at lists.xsl +311; I use the DocBook
stylesheet 1.78.0)

Would you consider this a bug or is this on purpose?
