/* A nested list inside a participants/subject list is a GROUP — a labeled block
("State:", "OSD:") or, in the newer volumes, an unlabeled delegation — and in
the printed volumes a group is set at the SAME indent as an ungrouped name,
separated only by the blank line below. See frus1981-88v44p1 p. 173, where
the agency labels sit exactly on the names' measure.

Without the pull-back the indent compounds, because `ul.subject li` above is a
descendant selector and so applies its 4em at every depth: a one-group list
put its names 4em too deep and a two-group list 8em (frus1981-88v16 d478 and
d471, measured at 94px and 152px against an ungrouped item's 37px). The
negative margin cancels the wrapping <li>'s indent at whatever depth it
occurs, so grouped and ungrouped names land on the same measure.

This does not disturb the published corpus. Where the nested list has a <head>
the transform emits <li><li class="subjectallcaps">…</li><ul>…</ul></li>, and
the HTML parser auto-closes the outer <li>, so the <ul> is never inside an <li>
to begin with and none of these rules match it. Only a headless group — the
shape the newer volumes use and legacy almost never does — nests cleanly
enough to compound. */
