questioning doc policy for @item

[Mark Polesky]

CG 4.3.6 says:
"Always put address@hidden on its own line, and separate
consecutive items with a blank line."

Yet we have a lot of cases of things this:

@itemize
@item foo
@item bar
@item baz
@end itemize

In fact, we literally have thousands of cases:

$ git grep -c "address@hidden" |
  sed -n 's/.*://p' |
  awk '{total+=$0}END{print total}'
5103

Personally, I don't mind this, so I'm questioning this
particular policy, especially since the texinfo manual
is rather flexible with the recommendations:

* "It is ok to have text following the @item."
* "Usually, you should put a blank line before an @item.
  This puts a blank line in the Info file.  (TeX inserts the
  proper interline whitespace in either case.)  Except when
  the entries are very brief, these blank lines make the
  list look better."

Any opinions on this?
