I'm with Paul. It would be good if the author wouldn't need to indent 
the artwork contents herself (whether it affects validity or not).

In rfc2629.xslt, I have the attribute x:indent-with on <artwork> (see 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2629xslt/rfc2629xslt.html#ext-rfc2629.artwork>, 
although the explanation isn't that good).
