Main reason is because you might want a list item which consists of
multiple paragraphs. A possible alternative would be to require that
lists are indented and flag a list item has ended either by a new list
item marker or by text which is no longer indented. However, not
everyone wants to be forced to indent their lists and like to have the
list item start in the '0' column so we need some other way to mark the
end and 2 blank lines seems a reasonable compromise.
