Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for you answer.
OK, I understand. That explains why I needed to add blank lines between
list items before to fill region, such as:

  - item1

  - item2

  This is a new paragraph

I have 2 more questions for you please.
Let say I would like to give a hand and try to improve the org-fill-region
to deal with this case.
- Would it be local to fill-region only, as I would suspect, or would it
put a mess around because it is used in some other contexts I am not aware
of, and would it be something interesting for the org-mode according to you?
- If you wanted to develop it, would you surround it with a when condition
so that user can disable it?

Thanks,

Steve
