Speaking of lists, when I showed Org mode this week-end to some "hard LaTeX
guy", when he saw that we could choose between "-", "+" and "*" for itemized
lists and between "1." and "1)" for enumerated lists (whichever the depth
level), he suggested (for enumerated lists) that:

- 2nd level items should be:

    (a) ...
    (b) ...
    (c) ...
    (d) ...

- 3rd level items should be:

      i. ...
     ii. ...
    iii. ...
     iv. ...

    or:

    i. ...
    ii. ...
    iii. ...
    iv. ...

- 4th level items should be:

    A. ...
    B. ...
    C. ...
    D. ...

It is what is implemented (following typographical rules?) for both French and
English (at least) in LaTeX. See:

Dunno what you think about that, dunno if that's feasible and easy... But
wanted to share with you his point of view...

Best regards,
