Since introducing altogether new markup constructs has been floated by the developers working on this, it seems somewhat likely that that will actually happen; and if new markup is introduced, then reusing ''any'' list item syntax to format discussions (as opposed to introducing separate multi-line syntax for list items and discussions) could seem somewhat short-sighted.

As [[:phab:T241388]] and [[:phab:T240696]] demonstrate, there are some issues with using any of the current list item markup for automatic nesting, because it makes it impossible to use markup consistently (especially with anything involving line breaks). This isn't really an issue in the current software, since it's only possible to write replies, but it will become more apparent if it becomes possible to create new sections and new syntax hasn't been introduced.
