I agree.

Well, please, don't trust me too quickly :) I must admit I'm very far
from a mardown expert: I'm only a very occasional user.

In fact, my suggestion was wrong: AFAICS, the last example doesn't give
the expected HTML result neither and the less bad solution for nested
lists in markdown seems to be:

#+NAME: test.md
#+begin_src markdown
-   Foo 1

-   Foo 2:

    -   Foo 21
    -   Foo 22

    End of Foo 2 item.
#+end_src

which is interpreted as (rather ugly):

#+begin_src html
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>Foo 1:</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>Foo 2:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>Foo 21</li>
      <li>Foo 22</li>
    </ul>
    <p>End of Foo 2 item.</p>
  </li>
</ul>
#+end_src

I'm not sure to understand what you have in mind: are these last two
examples at org mode level?
