Hi Michael,

thanks for reporting this.

Well, no, I think the current behavior is confusing.

I believe we cannot fix this without a discussion on the design first.

Here are a few solutions I can imagine:

1. when an entry contains both a list (as its direct contents) and
   subheadings, only consider subheadings in the stats calculation.

2. when an entry contains both a list (as its direct contents) and
   subheadings, only consider the list in the calculation.

3. if one of the two options above, allow the user to use a custom
   property to change the default (e.g. CUSTOM_STATS: list/headings)
   and consider the list of the subheadings.

4. add a new syntax rule to consider that stats at the beginning of 
   a headline are always for subheadings, while stats at the end of 
   a headline are always for the first list in direct contents.

I'd be in favor of (1) (without (3)) to keep things simple, but 
maybe that's a good opportunity to consider (4).  I think (3) is
only relevant if we go for (2), which I don't really like.

What do you think?
