Boy, I hope we all agree about this - we don't have a whole lot of
movement in this issue! But please let me know if you have problem
with it.

Uh - this is not something you can say "You must use an <itemizedlist>
for "foo" - the best we can do is make sure people have access to the
DocBook references - which tell you how to use these. I can not agree
to telling people any other way of using particular markup!

Good one - lets talk.. I agree with Sasha here although I think I'm
Guilty of this crime somewhere along the line :)

Yes yes... I have always capitalized Panel and Applet and
Capplet... can't think of others right now.
