Re: @headitem longer than @item

[Karl Berry]

    However, I now get a hard-coded dependency between the font used by
    @headitem and the font used to indicate the column widths in the
    arguments to @multitable, something I feel uncomfortable with -- it's
    bad tagging IMHO.

I suppose so, in principle.

    We probably need a special command to indicate the `headitemfont'.

Ugh.

I'll think about it.
