I would say the primary semantics are that it is an item in a list.  The 
marker is a matter of presentation, and even the newline, at the end, is 
presentation.  Really the marker should be an attribute of the list, not 
the individual item, but is a presentational issue, as the list level 
should be shown by the nesting level.
