Excellent.  I'd forgotten there were so many list types/styles though, 
it seems that this might be better on some kind of cycle (like the 
priority cookies).  I don't know what key binding you could use though. 
  Could holding CTRL and using the arrows up/down work?

Speaking for myself I think the issue is that M-RET is a common habit 
for creating a series of either list-items or outlines.  The problem 
arises when you are under an outline and press M-RET it creates a new 
outline, when you really wanted to start a list.  Hence having a 
convenient toggle here to turn an outline to a list/vice-versa might be 
handy.  Perhaps the C-c - binding (or perhaps a cyclical one) could be 
used to include the current outline level in the cycle.  This binding 
would then also obviously be applicable on outlines, allowing them to be 
converted from outline to list.

Do these ideas make sense?
