Nope not mandatory, just easier on the reader's eyes it the author choses to
do so...

I don't imagine most people would switch back and forth between unordered
and ordered list. So an example similar to Scott's could be:

=*
=> level1
=>> level2
=>>> level3
=>>>> level4
=>>> level3
=>> level2
=> level1

and

=+
=> level1
=>> level2
=>>> level3
=>>>> level4
=>>> level3
=>> level2
=> level1

Assuming =* and =+ toggle the list unordered/ordered default. The =*> syntax
would assumably allow you to toggle the default for a specific level...

I'd be glad to take this off-list for anyone who'd like to continue this
thread...
