Okay.

Good question! I don't know the answer to this.

I think it would be useful but not having it is definitely not a show
stopper! It has come up as an issue for me recently because I have
been managing the writing of a proposal with contributions from many
authors and some of those authors like having multiple lists within
other lists. It was when exporting a draft of the whole document that
I realised that I was losing text, but I only noticed this because I
lost a whole section which was several pages long!
I think the key is not necessarily to support multiple sub-lists
within an item but to *ensure* that no text is lost in export. I can
see at a glance possibly whether text is formatted correctly but I
cannot tell as easily that text has been lost in export. When working
on a 30+ page document, this is crucial.
From your previous message, it sounds like you have a fix for the lost
text issue; that would be the main improvement for my usage.

That could very well be.
