Well, it's important that the second paragraph is aligned correctly
and your solution means you have to maintain consistency in many
places (the ids) and you may have a hard time deciding when a list
ends.
What's wrong with the "obviously correct" and simple example below?
<list type=bullet>
<item><p>stuff 1</p><p>second para</p></item>
<item><p>stuff 2</p></item>
</list>
