True, but isn't this the nit-picking list? ;-)

And yeah, I agree with the use of a paragraph format for the lead in
(just as you would an element for beginning the context of a list in
XML) and with not using too many levels for topic discussion. (If the
topic is THAT involved, chances are it or pieces within it deserve
their own higher level of context.)
