I recomend you to read Alains paper "Are Wikis Usable". There's something I would like to add to the [Good Practices] called [MakeTheMachineWorkHarder]. You might be concerned that your parsers become convulted. But the alternative to a usable wiki markup is to write a working WYSIWYG editor, and that's what I call convulted - and IMO wysiwig editors slowed down mankind for much to long.

In my opinion, lists should be as simple as possible. If you need tables etc. inside lists, then you should think about restructuring your document. It's better to use sub-sections and sub-titles in this case.
In fact, for readability at least, shouldn't tables also be followed by an empty line?

How would you render a table with a line of text immediately following it then? Do we need the distinction?
How do we normally (in books, magazines, posters) recognize the end of a list in cases when there is no indentation?
Personally, I think that allowing tables, paragraphs, headings, pre blocks, etc. in lists opens a Pandora box but doesn't really grant the users much useful power (apart from one use case, where they use numbered lists instead of headings).
-- RadomirDopieralski, 2007-02-08
I'm not advocating headings, rules, and (but I'm less sure there) tables in lists. I mentionned empty lines
because they become necessary when a list is followed by a normal paragraph once you accept multiline
list items. I don't think we should require space (be it empty lines after arrays or space characters after
list stars and sharps) when there isn't any ambiguity.
