Hi Peter,

 > A list is not a paragraph.

I feel as though it might be IN a paragraph, though. Lists can be inline 
or block:

You need a) bread, b) cheese and c) walnuts to make this dish.

You need:

  a) bread
  b) cheese
  c) walnuts

to make this dish.

Now, to me it seems that both of these are single paragraphs, 
irrespective of the layout, aren't they?

Cheers,
Martin
