###### 3.1.1.2.33 sl

The <sl> element contains a simple list of items of short, phrase-like content, such as a list of materials in a kit or package.

On output, the list should have no bullets, on the assumption that each item is short enough to fit on one line, and needs no additional differentiation from its neighbors.
