[w3c/editing] Should a styled paragraph maintain its own style when inserting it in a list ? (#179)

Lets consider the following code:

```
<div id='test' contenteditable='true'>
    <div id='test0'>
      <span id='test0-1' style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(00, 255, 00)">This text should be green italic</span>
    </div>
    <div id='test1'>
        <ul style="font: 20px/1 monospace; color: blue;">
            <li>List item 1</li>
        </ul>
        <span id='test2' style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(00, 255, 00)">This text should be green italic</span>
    </div>
</div>
<script>
var d = document.getElementById('test');
d.focus();
var sel = document.getSelection();
var range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
d = document.getElementById('test2');
range.selectNode(d)
range.collapse();
document.execCommand('insertUnorderedList');
</script>
```

As far as I know, when applying the _insertOrderedList/insertUnorderedList_  command, the newly created list item has to be merged with its previous list element sibling. The question is, what's the expected behavior regarding the paragraph's style ? Should we keep it even implying we'll breaking the list element's style ? 

What would be the behavior if there was no previous list element sibling and the selected text will become the only list item if the newly created list ?  Should we keep the paragraph's style in that case ? 

Depending on the answers to the questions above, should we behave differently in those cases ? Why ? IS there any spec/doc describing how to proceed in the different cases where text paragraphs are transformed into list items via  the _insertOrderedList/insertUnorderedList_ command ?
