I argue that list indicator in unordered and in numbered lists also carry data.
Typically, they carry less data - since people don't restart their lists very
often - but they do carry it.

Actually, that's not true. It produces the desired decoration usually, but not
always: Not when you want to skip the bullet, or restart numbering. I'm
suggesting a kind of list in which one injects data more frequently.

Also, in at least one of my use cases, the appropriate decoration is produced
by default: When you have a task list with not-yet-done and done (or unchecked
and checked) - you start by writing the list of not-yet-done items, then over
time, perhaps with more edits to the document, you'll mark more items as done.

Your concern actually raises the possibility of offering a bit of GUI - when
switching to a new paragraph, you might get a small tooltip-like window open
up, making it convenient for you to change the category. As an optional feature
of course.

If I had a bit more time I'd try to sketch something for this with pen-pot.
