I am in the "keep it simple school".  So long as org allows me to
distinguish between numbered and unnumbered itemised lists, I am
happy.  I actually would prefer less choices than there are currently
because I would like to get to my choice more quickly when I do use
C-c - to change the type!

To me, org is about information and time management, not about
formatting.  YMMV, of course!

To be blunt, I would be happy with "-" and "1." in org, knowing that I
can customise upon export if necessary!  I'm not suggesting we go this
far, however ;-)
