Nicolas, thank you for explaining.
Well, it still bugs me.


Many times I start with something like


**** headline
     item1
     Text belonging to item1
     Text belonging to item1
     Text belonging to item1
     item2
     Text belonging to item2
     Text belonging to item2
     Text belonging to item2


and then later want to bring in more structure,
making item1 and item2 a list item.
I would then expect to get the "Text belonging to" lines being indented as in


**** headline
     - item1
       Text belonging to item1
       Text belonging to item1
       Text belonging to item1
     - item2
       Text belonging to item2
       Text belonging to item2
       Text belonging to item2


but I get this:


**** headline
     - item1
     Text belonging to item1
     Text belonging to item1
     Text belonging to item1
     - item2
     Text belonging to item2
     Text belonging to item2
     Text belonging to item2


of course I can indent via macros or manually, I just don't find the behaviour ok.

Regards,
