I'm in agreement with most of what Tim said (except the "much hated" for 
XML2RFC), but I think requiring <p> inside <li> comes close to the 
current problem with <t>s in xml2rfc. It may be okay if this is done as 
a fixup, but not if it's required from the authors.

I never attached a specific semantics to <pre><code>, I always thought 
that <pre> was the multiple-line equivalent of <code>.
