I think this is reasonable. It's certainly logical that we ought to
be able to create two separate lists back-to-back.

Agreed, that seems like the most logical syntax idea for this.

I'm not sure it'll work however. A situation like this:

    *   List item with a [link] [1].
    
    [1]: http://www.example.com/
    
    *   Second item in list.

might complicate the implementation. But I'm sure we can work it out.
