comment Vertical centering of text in a page when text contains enumerations
Thanks for the answer – great insight. In place of vspace, is there an option you would you suggest? Is the vfil/vfill option better in any way?

comment Vertical centering of text in a page when text contains enumerations
I'm quite curious, too. It seems counterintuitive that wrapping an enumeration in a box would improve the pagination; I'd expect the opposite (if anything) to happen to proper pagination by the TeX algorithms (as enumerations, you'd think, would break at each \item, whereas a minipage would break with less information about the 'break-ability' of its contents (i.e. you'd think minipage would obfuscate the relevant semantics by "hiding" the list's breakable places). Great solution though, @Herbert, but it seems unintuitive (to me)! I'd love to know more.

@Alan Munn: The vfil solution seemingly has the same effect/problem as vplace

@doncherry: Memoir's vplace seems to work, except for the case I've noted with the example code I pasted in my edit.
