Why not call the underlying type an 'orglist'. One can for example think
of orgpropeties etc etc.

Btw, for the sake of illustration, how would one convert a numbered list
to an alphabetical list or an unordered list. Convert some thing like

1. One
   1. OneOne
3. Two
4. Three

to 

- One
  - One
- Two
- Three

or 

1. One
   1.1 OneOne
2. Two
3. Three

C-c C-c on a list currently renumbers the list which I find quite
useful. May be there is a way to 'rebind' it so that it not only
renumbers but renumbers with a different style (that the user is
comfortable with). Think 'replace-region' for example.
