you think

<ul>
   <li>foobar</li>
   <li>|</li>
</ul>

and then hitting enter (| denotes the cursor)

should end up in

<ul>
    <li>foobar</li>
</ul>
<ul>
     <li>|</li>
</ul>

AFAIK Word would do the following

<ul>
   <li>foobar</li>
</ul>
<p>|</p>

now it has to be decided, what exactly should happen ;) currently

<ul>
    <li>foobar</li>
    <li></li>
    <li>|</li>
</ul>

The proper way is to assign "liste" to the corresponding css 
display-types (see 
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/CSS2Reference/Output/prop_display.html). And the 
underlying eDOM library does honor the somehow (also for table elements) 
Hannes or someone else at his company did that for docbook style tables, 
IIRC.
