8.11.8  Repetition:  Reduce repetition of the subject by combining sentences,
but avoid complicated compound sentences and stilted phraseology.
8.11.9  Listing Multiple Requirements:  List multiple requirements in lieu of
writing long sentences requiring extensive punctuation.  List the

first word in each listing, place a space between each listing and
sublisting, and insert a period after the last listing.  Adhere to the
following format:
"a.
(First requirement),"
"b.
(Second requirement),"
"1.
(First subrequirement under second requirement),"
"2.
(Second subrequirement under second requirement),"
"c.
(Third requirement)."
Where a series of words or very short phrases are listed, do not follow
the listing with punctuation (except for the last listing).
Where a series of long phrases are listed, follow the listing, except
the last one, with a semicolon.  After the next to last listing, insert a
semicolon, followed by the word "and" or "or."  Insert a period after the
last listing.
Where a series of sentences are listed, end each listing with a period.
If a sentence is listed in a series that otherwise consists of phrases,
follow each each listing with a period.
