That's in my 80% because neither ODF nor OOXML do allow tables
        or lists in paragraphs. I would see a great benefit when the
        DocBook based structural interchange format would allow easy
        transformation into office Standards, especially ODF.

    
    
You potentially lose information by doing that. For example, when
      normalizing, profiling and other attributes on the enclosing table
      would need to be copied to the paras you create before and after
      the table or list and onto the table or list itself as well. But
      doing so might change the author's intent in subtle ways depending
      on what job those attributes are doing. 

    

    
I guess this is Norm's point about everybody having a different
      80%.
