Well, it depends on the goal. Mine was on the line of what I perceived
it was "consensus" (totally subjective perception), that of trying to
use a standard language: either Markdown or RST. My implementation is
for the former, and I tried to avoid supporting anything in
addition. The only exception I made is to split in place lists.
But if we have tons of '.' or 'o' lists, for sure we will need to
break that rule and support them. Do you have numbers about how many
such lists we have? If they are just a few they can easily be fixed,
if they are half the archive (which I doubt, having seen them rarely)
it would be a different story ...

I don't understand what you mean with this.

Fair enough, I'll try to made available on line a full rendering of
unstable using my implementation, updated routinely. It can then be
used as a more handy basis for comparison.

Full ACK, so not a blocking problem.

If nobody from -policy objects, I'll submit it tomorrow.
Thanks for the comments!
Cheers.
