Summary: variablelist is ugly

Initial Comment:
<?dbhtml list-presentation='table'?>
<?dbfo list-presentation='list'?>">

the <term> element is vertically aligned as "center",
not "top"
thus it is not clear where the boundary between
varlistentries  is.
I suggest either vertical alighment "top"
or a horisontal separator line between varlistentries.

When I view the output with IE6 on Windows XP, the term is 
aligned at the top.  When I view the output with Mozilla 
Firefox, it is in the middle.

But the HTML table already has:

<col align="left" valign="top" />

Is this a bug in Mozilla?  Is there some HTML markup that 
would convince Mozilla to put the term at the top?

I am unable to duplicate this problem with the 1.69.1 
stylesheets.  Can you provide a more complete example and 
a description of how it was processed and viewed?
