The only thing I could not figure out is the blank line between list items to generate a paragraph in the list item instead of plain text (that is very ambiguous to me and sounds a bit odd) and instead I decided that all list items cannot contain plain text (a very simple approach, I know).

The rule used in Markdown.pl is that if there is a blank line separating two list items, both the item above and the item below that blank line will be parsed as block content (and have paragraphs). That said, sublists are parsed anyway regardless of blank lines.

You can use [MDTest][1] which includes the original MarkdownTest test suite from John Gruber as well as my own test suite for PHP Markdown and PHP Markdown Extra.
