I found the following in 6.12a.
************* org-shiftleft and org-shiftright on bullet points
1. The command is not documented as working on bullet
points. However, this is a great feature. For me, it
cycles bullet styles.
2. It should ideally adjust indentation when cycling bullet point
styles. For example, - + take one column; 1) takes two.
3. 1. (number followed by dot) should indent by two spaces when
sentence-end-double-space is non-nil. This should also
occur with org-insert-heading. See the present style.
4. It would be nice to include o (lowercase oh) as a bullet
point style if possible, as it's fairly common.
5. There seems to be a bug in which org-shiftleft turns the
first bullet point into a headline. This occurs on the
present body with the curser on the present bullet
point.
Thanks.

Documentation is improved now.

This also works now.

I cannot see why this would be useful. Sentence commands will
also not work with the other bullet styles. Note that you can
use C-a in combination with an appropriate setting of
`org-special-ctrl-a/e' to jump to the beginning of an item,
after the bullet. I use the setting `reversed'.

Might be nice, but this is too much trouble, because of
technical reasons (implementation is hard-coded in
several places...)

Yes, if the bullet starts at the left margin, the cycling
skips the * bullet type, to avoid confusion with headlines.
This was broken for the left-cycling. Works now.
Thanks for your report.....
And don't forget to try the new ido support in Org:
(setq org-completion-use-ido t)

Making sentences work for all styles and for headlines would be nice,
but that is not what this is about. It's for indentation:
1. This has one space.
And this is correctly aligned.
1. This has two spaces.
And this is correctly aligned.
(At least, if gmail didn't change anything.)
Those who use two spaces after periods. Like this. Probably also
want to have two spaces after the dot after the number also. As I do.
Currently org assumes that you always want one space after the period.

Looking forward to it and will test it.

Why do you think that this is the case? Under what circumstances
does it exhibit such behavior?

Best example:
- Create this item. Now do M-x org-shiftright twice. It
will look like "1. Create" instead of "1. Create".

OK, I see now. But I don't see what this has to to with the
user setting for the number of spaces after a sentence.
You may, for example, also want two spaces after "1)". So I
have implemented in a different way:
(setq org-list-two-spaces-after-bullet-regexp "\\.")
should now do what you want. Up on the git repo now.
