<para>Specify the spacing required before and after a list. It is necessary to specify the space after a list block because lists can come inside of paras.  </para>
<para>This attribute set is not applied to nested lists, so that only the
<parameter>list.item.spacing</parameter> attribute-set is used, which provides 
consistent spacing.</para>
