A <remarks> dated 2005-01-14 in the tagdoc for <list> says

 <!-- schematron constraint needed here -->
 <p>The formal syntax of the element declarations allows
 <gi>label</gi> tags to be omitted from lists tagged <tag>list
 type="gloss"</tag>; this is however a semantic error.</p>

I’m thinking it would be very good to create that schematron constraint in under decade.

    I agree, but I also think we should replace this structure in the recommendation with something properly hierarchical, like

    <list type="gloss">
      <item>
        <label>thing</label><gloss>meaning</gloss>
      </item>
    ...
    </list>

    While I agree w/ Martin, that's not something that can be quickly fixed as a bug report.
    Fixed in revision 13046.
