My old rd2html.rb detect (well, tryed to detect, at least) them by
indentation levels.  That is:

|: term 
|   Text of first TextElement in definition part.
|    This is verbatim, because it's indented.
|   Text of FIRST TextElement, because it on the same indentation
|   level.  Yes, we need indent level stack to implement this.
|
|   Text of FIRST TextElement, too

Empty lines are ignored for indentation (as in Python :-).

|Another one: ( use "_" as white-space.)
|
|: Term
|__Text of First TextElement.
|__
|__Text of Second TextElement.
|
|This is like Verbatim. but this may cause trouble under such condition.
|
|: Term
|__Text of First TextElement
|  : Term of sub list
|____Text of First TextElement of Sub list
|__
|____Which list have this TextElement?
|
|I think that is not good either.

According to my scheme, this should be:

|: Term
|__Text of First TextElement
|  : Term of sub list
|____Text of First TextElement of Sub list
|____Following line is ignored as a blank line.
|__
|____This is continuing First TextElement of Sub list,
|____because of its indent level.
|
|__Text of First TextElement.
|__Terminates sub list automagically.

What do you think?
