How about sub list?
We have to write sub list item according to same baseline of text?

Example:
* |Top list ("|" is baseline of text)
  * |sub list
    * sub sub list
  * |sub list (item 2)

The mark("*") of sub list have to be same indent of baseline of text
which belongs a item of super(parent) list.

I sometimes want to write like:
* Top list
 * sub list
  * sub sub list
 * sub list (item 2)


And I find another problem:

* |Top list ("|" is baseline)
    verbatim in Top list
    * Is This Line Sub List? or Verbatim?
    * ...
