In the Schubert article there is a conclusion section at the end:

After the introductory sentence there is a list of four 'points':

https://github.com/jcowey/P3/blob/master/pylon/pylon1schubert/schubert_liturgy_geography.xml#L1057-L1066

               <p xml:id="p27">To Stroppa’s fundamental contribution to the understanding of approvals to liturgy, several points can now be added:</p>
               <list>
                  <item>A consistent pattern emerges from the data available from several nomes (Arabia, Memphite, Heracleopolite, Oxyrhynchite, Cynopolite and Hermopolite), with the exception of the Arsinoite. For documents pertaining to liturgy, the demotic style format is in constant use, at least from 138 till 277.</item>
                  <item>Before the early third century, on the one hand no original approval of nomination is preserved (the only approvals in this period are copies or abstracts); on the other hand, nominations to liturgy do not display a space at the top of the document. This may suggest that the process by which the strategos added his approval in a free space at the top of nominations had not yet taken place. We can only speculate about how this was done before the early third century.</item>
                  <item>Starting in the early third century, a consistent cluster of evidence appears, both among nominations and approvals: the scribes who prepare a nomination to liturgy leave an ample margin at the top and at the bottom. The bottom margin is used for a transmission docket; then the strategos adds his approval in the top margin. This is attested in the Cynopolite, Heracleopolite, Oxyrhynchite and Hermopolite nomes – but not in the Arsinoite, where the evidence is lacking.</item>
                  <item>Both in terms of format and layout, the Arsinoite nome stands out when documents pertaining to liturgy are compared with those from other parts of Egypt. The available evidence indicates that the pagina format was used consistently, following a practice common in this nome for documents related to administration. As for the layout, the available evidence in the third century is very fragmentary; we can therefore not determine if, for approval to liturgies, the scribes adopted the practice observed in other nomes, where a free space was left at the top for the strategos to insert his approval.</item>
               </list>
               <p xml:id="p28">

Is the use of list with item a good choice? Suggestions, improvements?

Each item should probably have a xml:id, if we want to be able to refer to any specific item / sentence

rend probably better than style on list would be good

rend="bullets"
