Thanks for sharing the idea to use lists and thanks for using org-mode 
in a similar way like me ... that let me feel not to bad by abusing 
org-mode for my strange needs ;) . However, as you said it is rather the 
same problem with lists. Subsequent paragraphs always belongs to the 
last list or outline.
As far as I understood org-mode I could maybe use drawers to achieve 
something similar to what I want. However, I wonder if there is a more 
easy method esp. in way of typing, rather then wrapping a start and end 
command around the "inline"-paragraph. For my day-to-day use I always 
try to make it as easy as possible otherwise I might be to "lazy" to use it.

Thanks again for sharing your idea.

Torsten
