I agree. That was a mistake. I overlooked the case where one would want to have mix of checkbox and unordered items.

As it is, it is symmetric with M-RET and M-S-RET on headlines. E.g., in
the following document

* TODO Stuff|

where "|" is point, M-RET results in

* TODO Stuff
*

i.e., no TODO added. I find it straightforward.

OK. So no one way is right :) So it makes sense to keep it as it is.
