In DocBook 4 and 5, unlike with XHTML, the listitem elements cannot be empty and they cannot contain just text nodes. See http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/listitem.html. You can configure XXE to automatically create listitem elements containing one or more elements other para (e.g. simpara). See "Save Selected Element As Template" in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/optionsMenu.html#customizeConfigurationMenu.
