I guess it could be - but I am not sure if it should.  Conventions about =
the type of bullet to be used in a document belong to the typesetting =
side, and I rather establish a global setting for a document than follow =
my momentary decisions when I write the Org-mode version of it.  On a =
similar vein, we do have lists starting with - and * and +, but we still =
let LaTeX and HTML choose what to use as a bullet.  To me this feels =
like the right behavior.
