Comment 1 for bug 101396

As far as I know the code bypassing the outer tag for
the first element of a list (or table cell) has been there
"since ever" (at least since 0.8)

  I admit I never thought about why it is there, but sure
it is there for some reason.

  Does anyone know why it is there? Kit, maybe?

As the XSLT renderer does not have this quirk, I am in favor
of removing this piece of code, if nobody complains.
The widget based renderer does drop the outmost tag in Silva 1.2,
too.
