I guess I could use <emphasis> or <phrase> with a role, but I'm not
sure if I agree to your point: docbook already has massive element
proliferation, for example for the various types of lists (simplelist,
variablelist, orderedlist, itemizedlist), and I kind of like it that
way. I am so used to it that I feel more comfortable when I use the
one that more closely matches the semantics I am thinking of. I have
this conditioned reflex that if I use a locution more than once (like
"please note that"), then there should be markup for it.
Keep your pencil sharp for when I also ask people if they are
interested in inline lists.
