Some comments for LaTeX-3 or even LaTeX2.9.

To my eyes, the layout when lists interact looks very poor sometimes. Here is
an example. (Compatibility mode, sorry!)

It has seemed to me in the past to be very difficult to alter the behaviour
of things like this without messing up somewhere else. There don't seem to be
parameters the end-user can change to alter this effect.

How do others see this?
