Yes that's a good idea: something like '<end-of-list>' to supply a
hint.  It would only be necessary if there was something indented
following what one intended to be the end of the list.

The tag could set a not-a-list text property on the immediately
following text for later inspection in the list code. Or an
end-of-list property on the item preceding it.

The other big problem with my code is the paragraphs: I haven't quite
worked out how to make them come out right when, for example, there is
no paragraph break before the first list item.  Mind you, it seems to
render alright even though in that case it fails a validator.
