Fair enough!  I figured the current behaviour made it easier to write
"multiple paragraphs" in a single list item, but I was unsure if anyone
actually relied on that.  Thanks for confirming this hunch :)

FWIW, during the latest poll somebody suggested making org-indent-line
cycle through "syntactically valid" indentation levels when hitting TAB
repeatedly, like python-indent-line-function; I like this idea.
