You seem to have send us a similar support request several years ago 
(March 24, 2013):

"XHTML li/#text should not have vertical margin like li/p/#text"
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10021.html

I'm really sorry but, even several years after your first support 
request, there is nothing more we can do than what's explained in my 
original answer:

As of XXE v5.2, we have two out-of-the-box CSS:

[1] "Semantic" (the default CSS).
[2] "Emulate Web Browser".

As expected, [2] does what you want.

The only change is that in recent versions of XXE, once you have 
selected "Emulate Web Browser" for a given HTML document, there is 
nothing else to do and XXE will remember your choice in subsequent 
editing sessions.

In case you want to use "Emulate Web Browser" for ALL your HTML 
documents, see:

"8.1. "Customize Configuration" menu", "Use Current View Settings as 
Default",
