blank list item (arguably) misparsed

1. foo

2. 

3. bar

is parsed as

'((ol () (li () "foo")) (p () "2.") (ol () (li () "bar")))

li is typically rendered with an indent and p is not, so you get something like:

   1. foo

2. 
 
   3. bar

Whereas the majority of implementations — assign whatever credibility you like to their opinion — parse this as a single list with a blank li:

'(ol () (li () "foo") (li) (li () "bar"))

Thanks for the report.

Unless you feel there's greater urgency, I'd like to add this to the same buckets as #78 --- things I'm more likely to fix correctly, if I wait and do them all together in one batch.

There is zero urgency about anything in the world pertaining to markdown.
