My attempt to do exactly what you have above looked hideous because the
skin I'm using assumes that sidebars will contain list items. I'd have
to find and modify the CSS for sidebar outdented paragraphs to try to
make them look like list items, and that would include somehow figuring
out the default indentation of a list.

It seems like a lot of work for a small gain, and I'm not sure there's a
cross-browser way to ensure list-indentation and paragraph-indentation
line up consistently.
