I don't think that the character used is in itself that important here. I'm all for dash/minus for single-level lists, for example.

"Space required only after a second-level bullet list item" doesn't correspond to what's implied in BoldAndListsAmbiguity. That's what I'd implemented first before failing the test cases, getting ashamed :-) and changing my engine...
A space is also required between stars used for lists and stars used for bold. But I think it's the most obvious thing to do for authors, and it's easy to specify it.

Ah yes, I did phrase that incorrectly. Fixing it now...

Will we see an apropriate proposal page soon?
If there is no agreement, we could have several proposal pages, maybe, as long as they are properly described, explained and discussed.
For me, at least, it's still not just "Which character do we use for escaping?" but also "Do we need an escape character at all?" and "What's wrong with using nowiki or insering an empty {{{}}}?".

Did you mean to put this comment here or on Talk.EscapeCharacterDecision?
