Maybe we should explore why it feels hacky. I think it's possibly
because:

a) It would result in two different nesting structures
(list-block-block, list-block), which might end up being mixed. This
could look confusing.

b) We would be "overloading" the new tag. It would be both a
content-containing element and a structural element.

I'm still keen on the idea, though, because writing <item><p> all the
time feels awkward and unnecessary.

Thanks,

Phil
