RFC: Lazy syntax for paragraphs, blockquotes and lists

This example was explicitly mentioned because the behaviour of
kramdown will most probably differ from the one of Markdown.pl and this
behaviour wasn't stated anywhere in the syntax description itself, just
in the example (the text of which I have to admit I didn't read).
