lists and their introductions

Typographically, a paragraph is one thing and a list is another - even if the content of the paragraph is nothing than more the lead-in to the list. That would suggest something like [paragraph] [/paragraph] [ul] [/ul]

Logically, the introductory paragraph and the list form a unit of information. That would suggest something like [paragraph] [ul] [/ul] [/paragraph].

The 1.1 language spec. I have to hand appears to allow both. What do you experienced users think?

xhtml customization re <pre class="codeblock">

What do I have  to do to change

<pre class="codeblock"> 

in xhtml output to be:

<pre class="prettyprint">  ?

I want to do this in order to use the Javascript code prettifier to format code. I have args.hdf set to write the script call in, and the args.css set for the style sheet, but I am not sure which template I need to copy into my custom .xsl to change the actual tag in the xhtml.
