Ouch, sorry, I read it out of context and got confused with the "support" things. I think that Christoph may be confused too. Christoph, it's not about multiple paragraphs inside list items, or about including pre blocks, tables, etc. in them. This indeed would make the numbered lists into fancy headings, and would encourage misuse. Not to mention support from the wiki engine itself.
But this proposal is about making the list items behave the same way that paragraphs already do in Creole -- ignoring the newline characters and treating them as spaces in the wiki-like mode, and as newlines in the blog-like mode. Almost all the arguments we had about the newlines apply here.
This doesn't require any "support" from the wiki engine itself -- it's just a parser's thing where to put the end of the list item. The requirement to have one list item per one line is unnatural and harmful. It adds another vulnerability to software that automatically inserts [[Hard Line Breaks]], it forbids breaking the text where it is appropriate (semantically and aestetically). It's also inconsistent with how paragraphs behave.
And I see no harm in introducing it, other than [[MakeTheMachineWorkHarder]].
