Well, the rules governing blank lines in Mardown are mysterious to me.
They are also, AFAIK, totally undocumented.

Anyway, you are suggesting to remove any blank line before paragraphs
following a plain list, but only when they are already contained within
a list. In other words, both

  - Foo 1
  - Foo 2

  A paragraph

and

  - Foo 1
  - Foo 2:
    - Foo 21
    - Foo 22
    End of Foo2 item.

are valid examples. Am I correct? 

Also, what about other block types, e.g., which one is valid:

  - Foo 1
  - Foo2:
    - Foo 21
    - Foo 22

    #+begin_example
    Some example
    #+end_example

or

  - Foo 1
  - Foo2:
    - Foo 21
    - Foo 22
    #+begin_example
    Some example
    #+end_example

?
