I agree that multi-paragraph list items are not that common. A quick
random sampling of my own org files indicates about 3 instances per
1000 lines (so about 70 in total - wow, I have over 23,000 lines of
org files!). However, the point is that they do exist and up to now
have been (at least implicitly) encouraged.
I think that, all else being equal, it is best to maintain backwards
compatibility. On the other hand, if the majority decision were to
outlaw multi-paragraph list items, then I wouldn't be unduly upset. A
list item that complicated should probably have been a separate
subheading anyway.
Cheers
Will
