For the record: >From Org view, lists and paragraphs are distinct elements. More accurately, lists can hold paragraphs, but not the opposite. >From LaTeX view, it's true that a list can belong to a paragraph. But, again, such a thing is impossible in HTML, in OpenDocument, where "the list is a paragraph-level element"[1], and in DocBook. So this is consistent with most of the exporters encountered in Org. Now, to provide compatibility with LaTeX, Org export system has to respect blank lines (or the absence thereof) in the buffer.
