I believe it's prose, which has been discussed before as needed (well, some 
think just having hard line breaks would be nice, but that's inelegant :)

I've been getting some more users at ekit to use ReST for docco. They 
generally find it quite nice, but the lack of hard line breaks means that 
they often have too much whitespace where it's not wanted. I haven't actually 
looked closely at what constructs they're using - I suspect in the current 
case they're using field-list-ish structures, so I should be able to tweak 
the stylesheet for them to remove the extra whitespace if that's the case.

I've also removed the margin from footnotes to good effect. See:

   http://www.zope.org/Members/richard/docs/zope_optimisation.html

for the result. Note the footnotes are joined, rather than having ~10px 
spacing between. A bottom margin for the last footnote would probably be a 
nice tweak - but currently only Mozilla supports the last-child selector.
