Well, I don't know --- I'm no SGML expert, and I'm not sure whether
there's a preferred style for that. But I see in a quick grep that
every occurrence of <simplelist> in our docs, and all but a few
occurrences of <informaltable>, are within paras with some surrounding
text, in precisely the same style as here. So if this needs to be
changed then it needs to be changed in a lot of places. I'm disinclined
to mess with it unless there's a pretty concrete reason to do so.
