Certain environments, like itemize, enumerate, etc. assume that
the next paragraph remains actually the same paragraph (sorry if
I express myself in a confusing way), as is indicated by the fact
that the first indentations is being suppressed. In the future,
there should be two types of block structures: "document" and
"para". The "document" tag has a list of paragraphs as
its children and the "para" tag a list of paragraph units
(separated by carriage returns, but without indentation).
At the moment, the "para" has not been implemented yet though,
some things have to be hacked.
