Martin,
Based on the discussion I've heard, I think lists and outlines are two
separate features that have some similarities (maybe) -- outlining
(folding) is more a feature / function of an entire document. Thus, as
you say, there is no need to collapse a list to copy and paste it (until
the outlining feature is implemented which might collapse a list as part
of other text under a heading).
Hope this helps!
