Re: [docbook-publishers] Groups - DocBook Publishers SC modified

How's this?

<para>In the interest of providing a schema that meets the needs of the Publishing industry,
            the following considerations were made with regard to the modular approach to the schema
            and the exclusion of certain core DocBook elements:</para>
        <variablelist>
            <varlistentry>
                <term>Simplified markup</term>
                <listitem>
                    <para>The focus should be on the structural, presentational and semantic markup
                        that meets the needs of Publishers.</para>
                </listitem>
            </varlistentry>
            <varlistentry>
                <term>No technical elements</term>
                <listitem>
                    <para>The vast majority of Publishers will not need the technical elements from
                        core DocBook. For those titles that require technical markup, the inlines
                        can easily be added as a module to the Publishers schema.</para>
                </listitem>
            </varlistentry>
            <varlistentry>
                <term>Generated text</term>
                <listitem>
                    <para>With the robust DocBook toolchain, most Publishers will want to automate
                        the creation of a Table of Contents and Index.</para>
                </listitem>
            </varlistentry>
        </variablelist>

Please let me know if you'd like to tweak this at all...
    

Variablelist, please?
