That sounds like it means that any documents you might want to export to
LaTeX (and format with hard line breaks) should always have non-breaking
spaces after the periods---or you should keep a manual eye on your paragraph
formatting to make sure no numbers come first on the line.

Although I really like the new list code (many, many thanks, Nicolas!), this
does seem an unfortunate (if rare) little 'gotcha' arising from it.  I
hadn't realized that lists are triggered with no indentation at all.
