As we are already on the topic...
I have always been wondering how to end a nested environment *without*
starting a new item in the previous level:
1) This is item 1. It contains a list of sub-items, which are in fact
a) one sub-item
b) and another one
However, there are definitely more general things to say about item one.
This additional explanations have to appear below the list of sub-items.
2) This is item 2.
Seems to be a pretty basic thing to me. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks :-)

Yes. Enter the description, start a new paragraph, set the environment
to either Standard (for a paragraph) or Itemize (for a bullet list),
type madly, then increase the depth of the paragraph (Edit->Increase
List Depth, M-S-right or the appropriate tool bar button, which has a
right-pointing arrow).
