Well, if you just keep them as transitional period without
highlighting them as "deprecated" in some way, you will end up with
them forever. We all know how slow we are with this kind of
transitions :)
Given that the current semantics was to exploit pre-formatted text to
output lists, I found absolutely reasonable render 'o' and '.' as
pre-formatted text and only the new kind of lists as "true"
lists. After all you wouldn't be breaking anything: pre-formatted they
were and pre-formatted they will be. If you want to gain something in
term of lists, just switch to the new supported syntax (when we'll
have one).
Cheers.
