I'm still not sure how I would understand that sentence. I think the
sentence become clear if the list header is treated as an elemenet of
its own rather than as a special list item. I've rephrased the paragraph
as follows:
The Open Office format supports list structures, similar to those found
in [HTML4]. A list is a paragraph-level element, which contains an
optional list header, followed by a sequence of list items. The list
header and each list item contains a sequence of paragraph or list
elements. Lists can be nested.
Is that okay for you?
Michael
