I think it would be OK to modify the indentation code to
do the most useful thing in this case, which is indenting
to under the list.  Is is OK to put the burden for
terminating list by indentation on the user.  The reason why
I wanted this was mostly so that old files still publish
the same way.  I myself has switched to leave two empty
lines to terminate my lists and enjoy the consistent
indentation that results from this.
