Extra space between list items in HTML export

[Richard Stanton <stanton@haas.berkeley.edu>]

I often use the h:2 option to turn level 3 headers into itemized list entries. When exporting to LaTeX/PDF, the spacing between items is the same this way as it is when I use an explicit itemized list. When exporting to HTML, however, there's some extra space inserted between items when they were originally headers. Here's an example. Export to HTML and you'll see the different spacing:

-------------

#+OPTIONS: h:2, toc:nil

* Example of itemized list
** Blank level 2 header
- List 1
- List 2
- List 3

* Level 3 headings as itemized list, with extra space
** Blank level 2 header
*** List 1
*** List 2
*** List 3
