Thanks for drilling down into a more specific use case than dogs,
David.  I know the original question doesn't seem like its related but
I was trying to make a query in the most general case possible.  In
that sense, I think your title suggestion does make some sense as long
as it's rendered inline and not separate from the document which I
think was my main concern, how the writer would handle it.

I think the line-blocks are an interesting idea and I'll definitely
consider it as a way to spell how it should be rendered.  As you saw
in the developer's thread, I'm trying to look at all of Docutils for
rendering, which will likely mean modifying the doctree through a
custom transform before it hits the writer and then use the existing
writer with a custom stylesheet to render it properly.  I just wonder
if custom doctree transforms can be added to any of the publish
functions as I worry that styling may not be able to smooth over all
the bumps of the default generated document elements without a little
massaging beforehand.  A simple visitor transform could accomplish
this (seeing adding an XSLT parser is a bit much for such a thing).
But as transforms are more a developer issue, I'll move that
discussion there.

Thanks again!

Jeffrey.
