Tangentially, this brings up a slight nit that I have with DocBook. I think that the variablelist element is misnamed. I think the idea of the "definition list" that is present in HTML is a closer fit to the common uses of this type of list. In a hypothetical definition list, one could still "define" variables (and so we can still represent variable lists), but we can also "define" anything that requires defining (such as the structure of a directory in this case). But of course, such a change would be Significantly Backwards Incompatible(tm).
