Use ITEM <space> (e.g. ITEM .5v to put half a linespace between
list items).  If you always want the same spacing, redefine ITEM to
include it, like this:

.rn ITEM ITEM-orig
.de ITEM
. ITEM-orig .5v
..

Spacing above and beneath LISTs must be entered explicitly with a
spacing macro or request (.SP, .ALD, .sp).  Mom makes no assumptions
concerning list spacing, given the multitude of uses and abuses to
which LIST/ITEM are routinely subjected.
