That's why I talked about "LaTeXism".

For the record:

accurately, lists can hold paragraphs, but not the opposite.

again, such a thing is impossible in HTML, in OpenDocument, where "the
list is a paragraph-level element"[1], and in DocBook.
So this is consistent with most of the exporters encountered in
Org. Now, to provide compatibility with LaTeX, Org export system has to
respect blank lines (or the absence thereof) in the buffer.
