[rfc-i] How to indent artwork with surrounding block

[jhildebr at cisco.com (Joe Hildebrand (jhildebr))]

To reiterate, I think we currently lack the following:

- A way to indent <artwork> with the surrounding block
- A way to differentiate examples from sourcecode
- A way to mark up <sourcecode> as having special IPR status
- once we have the previous, additions to the text and HTML
  formats that describe the rendering
