I have lists do visibility cycling like headings and use them as light weight headings. One thing I've found is that empty lines seem to be after an item and not a part. Blank lines, with whitespace characters in them seem to be a part of the item. I use it and tend to like it. I need to turn on a setting to make such blank but not empty lines a little easier to spot. If the behavior would change, I'd probably need to change how I do thing and maybe use heading more.

The manual (section 2.8) says "Indentation also determines the end of a list item. It ends before the next line that is indented like the bullet/number, or less." I think that a blank line has 0 indentation, therefore (by this logic) it should end a list item. Clearly a blank line cannot start a list item, so it must end a list. I think the question is whether list items can contain blank lines. This may be established practice, but it was not what I was expecting.
