Description

See the URL for a demo.

The last line in the source of the demo page has an empty paragraph before it and several hash marks in the beginning.

In the output page it is shown as "1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. A".

In the VE it is shown as

1. 1. 1. 1. 1.
A

This is an edge case but it should should probably be identical in any case.

As far as I know it is supposed to be that way - otherwise you wouldn't be able to add content to list item at each level. James - please confirm (and reopen if I'm wrong).

Confirm that this is intentional behaviour. There are a number of ways in which VisualEditor is deliberately not merely a WYSIWYG editor, and we should probably explain them so it's less confusing.
