@decoration             = { bulleted | numbered | simple }
@blockness              = { inline | block}
@completeness           = { abbreviated | elliptic | complete }
@htmlSortOfThing        = { ul | ol }
@sequenceMatters        = { true | false }
@parallelStructure      = { true | false }
@interveningPunctuation = { true | false }
@isReallyAList          = { true | false }

And here's a handy typology of lists:

I must admit I wouldn't mind seeing examples of <list type="bucket">, 
<list type="black"> and <list type="hit"> in the Glines.

Cheers,
Martin
