During the [[WikiSym]] workshop, after we decided that a double asterisk would be best for bold, the group decided "unanimous minus two" that the hyphen would be best for bullet lists. However, at this point, ChuckSmith realized due to his research of wiki syntaxes that approximately 90% of wiki engines use asterisks for bullet lists. After the initial desigh [[Creole 0.1]] with hyphens we decided mainly because of that to use asterisk for unnumbered lists as well, see the [[Talk.Lists]] for the story. We now have to concede that we made a mistake and accept the use of asterisk instead of hypens for bullet lists.

Considering the facts behind 25% of list items on Wikipedia not using space after the star **and** 25% of lists have items starting with italics or bold[1], this combination is not an [[EdgeCase]]. This means that proposals like [[RequireSpaceAfterBulletProposal]] would make it more difficult to use Creole than necessary. Proposals like this are a sign that something in the design is wrong and accepting this probosal would only cure a symptom. That's why we ask the comunity to accept this new proposal to switch back to the original design on using hypens for unnumbered lists.

In general a unnumbered list alway has to start with **one** hypen.
Horizontal rules are on a line by themselves. One could check for four ore more hypens with nothing else behind it (only space and line break).
