But I _do_ want spacing for the list. I literally said that.

We need inter-paragraph spacing between paragraphs of the same style, and
different spacing from paragraphs of a different style.

That's a non-argument. If ODF does not currently support this, support can be
added. ODF is not a static standard; and in fact, we've already agreed in
principle on much more fundamental changes to it than this (w.r.t. making
language an aspect of content rather than style and breaking the language group
trichotomy).
