What you describe is very common. This is the case with DocBook listitem
and XHTML li. You can use these DTDs and their stylesheets as examples
of what XXE can do at best.
PS: Your example is inconsistent: you use "paragraph" in the XML example
and "p" in the CSS. If this is not a typo in the email, this explains
very well why the result is ugly: the default display of an element is
inline and not block.
