Note that this will *still* generate a <p>...</p> tag.
Pagelist templates currently work by taking the markup
produced by the template and rendering it into HTML.
The major reason for this is so that >>div<<, table,
list, and conditional markups inside the template don't
do surprising things with the outer markup. In particular,
people would be very surprised if an (:if:) condition
inside of a pagelist template caused markup outside of
the pagelist template to not appear.

The vast majority of uses for pagelists produce block
markup, not inline markup. So I take the position that
inline is the special case (and will be for the foreseeable
future), and therefore this special case should have the
special tags.
