But you are trying to attach additional semantics to predefined elements.
The predefined semantics is "<simplelist> is a list". Your proposed new
semantic is "<simplelist> withing <itemizedlist> within the PostgreSQL
release notes identifies the contributor of the feature identified in the
parent <listitem>". If you want to go in that direction, you need to
define new elements.
