list pulled out of containing para in html output

Using the 1.72.0 
html xsls with para.propagates.style=1 using saxon 6.5 if I do:

 

<para 
role="client">Some intro text:
  
<itemizedlist>
 <listitem>
   <para>My 
listitem</para>
 </listitem>
  
</itemizedlist>
</para>

 

In the output, the 
ul is pulled out of the containing para:

 

<p 
class="client">Some intro text:</p>
<ul><li><p>My 
listitem</p></li></ul>

 

So I lose the 
ability to use the class to style the text with my css. Is this a bug or some 
feature I don't understand?

 

Thanks,

David
