Thank you, that's absolutely correct, as I confirmed by putting a
`message' form at the end of that function.  I have now changed
nxml-mode.el as in the diff below.  With that, I get the required
indentation, as in

    <para>Let us suppose that the noumena have nothing to do with

      analytic unity.</para>

The change to `nxml-compute-indent-from-matching-start-tag' introduces a
local variable `only-end-tag' to distinguish between the line starting
with "analytic", and the last two lines.

Now, the next thing I see is that if, after this indentation, I do
`fill-paragraph', it goes back to the old indentation.  Anyway, I'll
deal with that later.  For now, I'll make do with these changes, which
at least give me the indentation I want.

Thanks very much for your help.

Best regards,

Raghu.
