My browser (recent Firefox) *does* place extra spacing around list
elements with paragraphs (with no CSS).  I assume this is standard.  So
regardless of what browsers should do, Org-mode should handle what they
actually do.

I think consistency here is a win.  Maybe adding another rule to the
Org-mode default CSS would make the situation even better, but
personally I'm happy with the current look.

Thanks,
