Aloha Nicolas,

Thanks very much!  The old LaTeXism behavior is back in my example.

I probably don't understand your question fully, but it seems obvious to
me that a list can either belong to a paragraph or it can be separate.
I'm not certain why Org-mode would want to choose one over the other.

I tend to see the question as having to do with how someone working in
Org-mode indicates that a paragraph break is wanted.  I do this with a
blank line, as I do in LaTeX, and this seems to work.

All the best,
Tom
