Dashes are also commonly use at a beginning of a paragraph when it is quoted out of context, broken in mid-sentence or just starts with a dialog. Although the "list-like" dialogs may be an Eastern Europe thing, it is certainly practiced in American prose to mark a change of voice or object with a dash.
Various forms of dashes, hyphens and other horizontal lines are so loaded with meanings in our traditions, that it's also very likely to hit a conflict with some jargons and scientific notations.
Fortunately, dashes are traditionally distinguished from hyphens (or hyphen bullets ⁃) by repeating the "hyphen/minus" character, "--". This generates no conflicts if the "smart" handling of the list (list must begin with a first-level item) or a different technique of marking nesting then repeating the bullets are used.
