I think there is a problem using brackets at the beginning
of plain list items with the LaTeX backend:

   1. [A] foo bar...

The generated LaTeX code looks like:

   \item[A] foo bar...

but rather this would be the expected output:

   \item{}[A] foo bar...

Here follows the patch:

*** org-list.el	2010-03-21 15:33:49.000000000 +0100
--- org-list.el.old	2010-03-21 15:26:38.000000000 +0100
***************
*** 1336,1342 ****
   	       :dstart "\\begin{description}" :dend "\\end{description}"
   	       :dtstart "[" :dtend "]"
   	       :ddstart "" :ddend ""
! 	       :istart "\\item{} " :iend ""
   	       :isep "\n" :lsep "\n"
   	       :cbon "\\texttt{[X]}" :cboff "\\texttt{[ ]}")
       params)))
--- 1336,1342 ----
   	       :dstart "\\begin{description}" :dend "\\end{description}"
   	       :dtstart "[" :dtend "]"
   	       :ddstart "" :ddend ""
! 	       :istart "\\item " :iend ""
   	       :isep "\n" :lsep "\n"
   	       :cbon "\\texttt{[X]}" :cboff "\\texttt{[ ]}")
       params)))

Cheers and thanks a lot for the wonderful org-mode!

Hi Günter,

nice catch, but I actually like the old way better!  It is a
good way to specify the bullet if you like.  Org-mode does
intentionally remove that white space.

Now, I agree that this is inconsistent with the other backends, but
I do still like this possibility.

Why do you need [A] there?  Maybe

1. =[A]= foo bar...

would even be better, depending on what the [A] is supposed to mean?
