(switching to bug-texinfo for a larger audience)

You can't say that they are too close together: that's just your
opinion.  The current spacing for the HTML output for @enumerate as
displayed in web browsers may be desirable in many cases.

The exact vertical spacing of the HTML output depends on the web
browser but it appears to be related to whether there are paragraphs
or not:

\input texinfo
@settitle Manual

@node Topx
@top Manual

@enumerate
@item One
@item Two
@item Two

Three
@item Four 
@end enumerate

@bye

This is output as

<ol>
<li> One
</li><li> Two
</li><li> Two

<p>Three
</p></li><li> Four
</li></ol>

Here the Three line is output in its own paragraph which affects the spacing
above and below it.

I'm not sure if it's correct or not, but the spacing of the existing output
could probably be changed with CSS.
