Well, remember that it has to support arbitrary nesting and non-nesting.
For example, it still has to work if you remove Point 1; Points 1a and 1b
are not promoted to the top level. This is really the same problem
as the H1, H2, ... elements in HTML. Perhaps <list> <item depth="1"> ...
</item> <item depth=2> ... </item></list> might have been better.
