I see, thanks Nicholas. As a start, in a subjectively ideal world,
org-refile-list-item would work on list items:
1) and their children to arbitrary depth
2) in the current buffer, or any agenda file
3) using either path-like headline specification or IDO completion
But I'd settle for an in-buffer restriction like Florian used. I just
noticed org-goto makes the manual workaround a bit easier.
I guess this really amounts to the first time I've ever been convinced
that "treating list items like headlines" would be useful to me. At
least, it feels like list items might benefit from being a proper
subset of headlines. I don't remember what the disadvantages of such a
move would be, but I suspect there's a lot of tacit knowledge in the
codebase already.

It is. :)
