Huh, I've never seen this in org-mode proper. I just went and did a bit of testing, and it looks like wrapping in org-mode involves some cleverness where it "over-wraps" lines that would otherwise start with a number, making sure the previous word always comes down to start the next line. Orgalist isn't that clever, which I guess is by design, and probably a good thing. Eric
