It isn't obvious. For example, in HTML, a list within a paragraph
doesn't even make sense[1].

There's no harm in it, but you're basically faking Org and its LaTeX
exporter, as lists and paragraphs are two distinct entities[2].

Footnotes:

[1] You can't have <ul> within <p>, according to
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.3.1

[2] If you try to `mark-paragraph' in your file, it won't mark both
the text and the list in one go.
