Accidentally hit the Send button. A better technique would be to insert 
an ordinary empty paragraph between every two <ul>s.
It's still an ugly hack, of course.

Third option: doing it with classes. Have a "nobottommargin" and 
"notopmarging" class that reset the respective margins to zero. A 
paragraph followed by a <ul> would have <p class="nobottommargin">.
I don't particularly like that one, too. It means PmWiki can't generate 
output for a paragraph until it has looked at the next paragraph - yuck. 
Also, I'm not sure that all browsers can apply more than one class to a 
tag - they *should* be able to, but I suspect bugs in that area.

Ah well. I'd stick with having that whitespace above and below every 
enumeration. The alternatives are too tricky: they require too much code 
in PmWiki, and they test too many of the murkier areas of browsers...
