Fair enough! I figured the current behaviour made it easier to write "multiple paragraphs" in a single list item, but I was unsure if anyone actually relied on that. Thanks for confirming this hunch :) FWIW, during the latest poll somebody suggested making org-indent-line cycle through "syntactically valid" indentation levels when hitting TAB repeatedly, like python-indent-line-function; I like this idea.
