I agree with Giuseppe and Bruce as well. A paragraph with a displayed item in the middle, looks different to the typesetter than to the reader: For the typesetter it consists of three "display areas". For the reader it consists of a single paragraph with a part standing out by its layout. The author registers his intention to consider this as a single paragraph by not issuing \par commands, not explicitly and no blank lines around the displayed item. AFAIK, in HTML such a paragraph is forbidden; a "block item" cannot contain other "block items". In LaTeX this situation is handled by the everypar mechanism. The end of the display environment inserts into everypar a "once only" noindent command. If the author issues a \par command after the displayed item, explicitly or by a blank line, the noindent is consumed by this empty paragraph. The following text will see the normal everypar, with a normal parindent. It is a fragile mechanism, and for a class author it is always a problem to get this right. (It also bluntly resets everypar, thus disabling any other usage of it.) I am not sure how a \par command before the displayed item is treated. In context \setupdescriptions has a 'indentnext=no' option. In DocbookInContext I have tried to use it, in variablelist and glosslist. I did not see a result.
