I don't think what is done with lists has much to do with their syntax.
Anyway, you can write a function to find such candidates, if needed,
without overloading the parser (for little benefit).

This is not really possible, unless you forbid users to arbitrary start
an item with "State "xxx" from "xxx"" or "Note taken on", i.e., you
bless them as parts of Org syntax. I wouldn't go that far.
