Can anyone give me an example of when it's a good idea to use lists
rather than headlines?

They feel rather like a violation of the principle of least surprise
to me, because when you use them, and then try to use pretty much any
other Org feature on them (marking them as a TODO item, tagging, etc.)
it doesn't work because lists aren't meant to be used that way.

I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious here, and that's why I'm asking.

Thanks in advance!
-Chris
