And btw, so does block level raw:

       *     some raw text

             more raw text

       * next spaced out item

Here the first list item is allowed to contain block level content  
according to your rule, as it both has a blank line in the actual  
content and a blank line separating it from the next item.

Yet the first line of the item is not treated as raw -- now this  
could be the “eight spaces or two tabs” as required when a raw  
environment is in a list item. Though adding that does not change  
things.

It should maybe be added that block level raw is possible on the  
first line of a block quote.
