They feel rather like a violation of the principle of least surprise to me, because when you use them, and then try to use pretty much any other Org feature on them (marking them as a TODO item, tagging, etc.) it doesn't work because lists aren't meant to be used that way. I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious here, and that's why I'm asking.
