Subject: Lists behaviour

Man, I'm just racking 'em up, tonight, aren't I? Ok, here's a couple of
things about lists. Sorry about the length.
First, what happened to solid black bullets? Now I see small circles as
bullets. Seems to me that solid black circular bullets are pretty
standard.
======================
Second, what happened to the auto list ending logic we had? What I see
currently is the following (where | represents the curser location, and
o represents a bullet):
o foo
o bar
o baz|
Then you hit enter twice and get:
o foo
o bar
o baz
o
o |
But I thought that instead it was supposed to go from
o foo
o bar
o baz
o |
to
o foo
o bar
o baz
|
and automagically end the list.
=============================
Finally, shouldn't a list look like
o foo
o bar
o baz
or
1. foo
2. bar
3. baz
instead of
o foo
o bar
o baz
and
1. foo
2. bar
3. baz
which we currently have now? Every html renderer that I've seen renders
a list in the former way, with the bullets indented a bit and then the
text spaced a bit after that, instead of the bullets at the extreme left
margin and the text a full tab in from them.
Thoughts?
John
