Summary: nested lists are broken in XSL manpages (nroff)

Initial Comment:
nested lists are incorrectly converted to nroff by XSL:

<varlistentry id="completion"><term>Tab key</term>
 <listitem><para>Context sensitive:
  <itemizedlist><listitem><simpara>If you are in the
"function
     position" (in the first symbol after an opening
paren or in the
     first symbol after a <command>#'</command>), the
completion is
     limited to the symbols that name
functions.</simpara></listitem>
   <listitem><simpara>If you are in the "filename
position" (inside a
     string after <command>#P</command>), the
completion is done
     across file names,
     <ulink
url="http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/">bash</ulink>-style.
   </simpara></listitem>
   <listitem><simpara>If you have not typed anything
yet, you will get
     a help message, as if by the
     <ulink url="impnotes.html#debugger-main-deb-step"
            ><command>Help</command></ulink>
     command.</simpara></listitem>
   <listitem><simpara>If you have not started typing
the next symbol
     (i.e., you are at a whitespace), the current
function or macro is
     &describe;d.</simpara></listitem>
   <listitem><simpara>Otherwise, the symbol you are
currently typing is
     completed.</simpara></listitem></itemizedlist>
</para></listitem></varlistentry>

note that docbook-xsl-1.64.0 still has this bug.
additional test case:

<varlistentry id="opt-lang"><term><option>-L</option>
&lang-r;</term>
 <listitem><para>Specifies the language &clisp;
   uses to communicate with the user.
   This may be
   <simplelist type="horiz" columns="3">
    <member><command>english</command></member>
    <member><command>german</command></member>
    <member><command>french</command></member>
    <member><command>spanish</command></member>
    <member><command>dutch</command></member>
    <member><command>russian</command></member></simplelist>.
   Other languages may be specified through the environment
variable
   <envar>LANG</envar>,
   provided the corresponding message catalog is installed.
   The language may be changed dynamically using the symbol
macro
   &cur-lang;.</para></listitem></varlistentry>

==>

.TP
\fB\-L\fR \fIlanguage\fR
Specifies the language \fBCLISP\fR uses to communicate with
the user\&. This may be
\fBenglish\fR\fBgerman\fR\fBfrench\fR\fBspanish\fR\fBdutch\fR\fBrussian\fR\&.
Other languages may be specified through the environment
variable \fBLANG\fR, provided the corresponding message
catalog is installed\&. The language may be changed dy
namically using the symbol macro \fI*current\-language*\fR\&.
