[emacs-wiki-discuss] Change in list formatting that affects emacs-wiki

[Michael Olson]

There is a slight discrepancy between the way Muse defines list markup
and how emacs-wiki does it.

With Muse, lists must have whitespace before the dash.  There are
several reasons for this.

 - List items will stand out better.

 - When you hit M-q to wrap a long sentence with a dash in it, that
   dash could be moved to the first position of the next line.  If
   that happens, the line will erroneously be interpreted as a list.

Some time in the future, I plan to change emacs-wiki so that it
follows this convention.  At that time, a convenience function will be
provided that converts lists from the old style to the new.
