Yes, the HTML parser was often better than the LaTeX one, though I wasn't that
interested by the HTML one...

I would definitely say that, yes, being able to support the above example (or
mine) would be _that_ useful. I don't consider such written constructs as bad
writing, and hence would like Org to let me write them.

I can even tell you it was difficult to make other colleagues accept to use
Org simply because of the limitations it had in the nested lists.

Best regards,
