And, as always, thank you! This is fairly heroic work -- I say that
after having made an attempt at orgstruct-mode, and run away screaming.
And look, no funny indentation!

- Yet a list item with a ridiculous amount of text in it does not wrap
  into a second list item.
- Neither does the second list item, despite having an equivalent amount
  of spurious typing in it.

- And before I get tired of the experiment, here's the same thing with
 a numbered list.
- Oh damn, I hit M-RET, and the numbered list turned into an unnumbered
  list.

No good deed goes unpunished :)
