I believe the reason for the disparity is that 'He makes a really funny
face', is supposed to be associated with 'Peter Jackson being shot by
legolas' rather than 'on DVD only'. I believe the example is supposed to
show that list items can contain both subsidiary lists and whole
paragraphs. If the paragraph were supposed to be associated with the
lower level list item it would be indented as you expected.
All the best,
Leonard
