Nice. I few things I noted:

That's invalid HTML 4, no wonder Markdown doesn't support this in  
output. There is no harm in converting it to the valid form if you  
want to, but I wouldn't consider that necessary.

To determine if a list item contains block-level content, one of the  
following three assertions must be true:

1.  The item contains a blank line.
2.  The item is preceded by a blank line and is not the first item in  
the list.
3.  The item is followed by a blank line and is not the last item in  
the list.

That means there is no way to make only one item in a list to contain  
a single paragraph: either you insert a blank line before and it  
affects the preceding item, or after and it affects the following item.

Well, there is a way if you hack around:

*   List item.
*   Paragraph list item.

     <!-- dummy comment to insert a blank line in the item without
          affecting the next list item -->
*   List item.

But using a hack like that will certainly impair the clarity in the  
resulting Markdown output.
