Please disregard this request. I think I did not identify the problem
correctly. The problem, instead, lies in the html export.

When a plain list is followed by a paragraph, the list is closed in the
the export before the paragraph.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
- Item One

- Item Two

Here is the paragraph.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

results in....

,----
| <ul>
| <li>
| Item One
| 
| </li>
| <li>
| Item Two
| 
| </li>
| </ul>
| 
| <p>Here is the paragraph.
| </p>
`----

But when a table follows the list, as in...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
- Item One

- Item Two

| Table cell | Another table cell |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

...the table is enclosed in the list in the html:

,----
| <ul>
| <li>
| Item One
| 
| </li>
| <li>
| Item Two
| 
| <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">
| <caption></caption>
| <col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col>
| <tbody>
| <tr><td>Table cell</td><td>Another table cell</td></tr>
| </tbody>
| </table>
| 
| </li>
| </ul>
`----

In the latex output, by contrast, the list is closed before the table
appears.

,----
| \begin{itemize}
| \item Item One
| \item Item Two
| \end{itemize}
| 
| \begin{center}
| \begin{tabular}{ll}
|  Table cell  &  Another table cell  \\
| \end{tabular}
| \end{center}
`----

Would it be possible to make the html output consistent with the latex
output, so that the list is closed before the table?

Thanks, and sorry for making you read that earlier email about a
non-problem. :)
