Hi,

as you probably know we are going to use Pandoc [1] to convert our lessons from
Markdown to HTML. Pandoc has something called "The four-space rule" that says

    A list item may contain multiple paragraphs and other block-level content.
    However, subsequent paragraphs must be preceded by a blank line and indented
    four spaces or a tab.

So I want to request that we use

~~~
1.  First item.
2.  Second item.
~~~

instead of

~~~
1. First item.
2. Second item.
~~~

or

~~~
1.   First item.
2.   Second item.
~~~

To save us from problems.

CommonMark [3] has a similar and more flexible rule [4] but I don't know when it
will be ported to Pandoc.

Thanks,
Raniere
