Subject: Re: A better indentation for lists

After some puzzling, I tend to agree that this is a better proposal, so
I will give it a try in the next version.  Thanks, Leo, for the detailed
description.  There are, of course, remaining problems, like the first
text lines after a list - it will be indented to the list level when
pressing tab.  I don't think that it is possible to implement this
in a bullet-proof way, all we can ami for is something that is
comfortable for most.
