I'll rise to the bait. Sometimes you need to. I've come across it 
several times where you have an admonition something like this:

<warning>
<para>Be careful when doing <command>X</command>, as it can cause 
wide-spread death and destruction. To prevent the mutiliation of friends 
and loved ones, add the following line to the configuration:
</para>
<programlisting>
TortureFriends = 0
</programlisting>
</warning>

The point being, that sometimes the admonition is directly relevant to a 
program listing (or <screen>) that just wouldn't fit in the main body of 
text. I agree that it's not ideal, but there are definitely situations 
where you can't write around it. In those cases, it would be nice if the 
brand wasn't working against us.

you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all
