That's a sign that the margin-top gets applied to the <ul> tag.
It needs to be applied to the <li> tags within.

The CSS for adding 0.2 em around the list items in that case would be

ul.somestyle li {
   margin-top: 0.2em;
}

It may even be that the %block markup has the class applied to the <p> 
tag. In that case it's simply

p.somestyle ul li { ... }

(just take a look at the HTML generated by PmWiki).

Patching PmWiki isn't a very viable route, you'd have to reapply the 
patch with every PmWiki update that you install.

Hmm... it might be better to make it a Cookbook recipe, to keep the 
markup simple.
