Oh well.

If people are doing this like that, we have either an implementation 
problem or a documentation problem.

The whole point of using an XML based format is to capture the 
semantical markup structure, and to let the output processor decide how 
to render it best. In particular, the decision about empty lines between 
  items in a list seems to be mostly a matter of taste.

Hector,

  Try <?rfc subcompact="no"?> (either in the beginning of the
document, or just before the list) to get the list layout you're
looking for.
