Don't be afraid of breaking things for a better spec. I would still
consider Gemini experimental, so that's okay.

My approach would be:

  * Mark `*` at the begin of the line deprecated as a list identifier
    and to be removed in the next iteration of the spec
  * Declare "  *" as the list identifier

It makes lists indented and stand out, also remove the ambiguity.

Right now, my parser would break on that, but it's an easy fix in pretty
much all programming languages as well as the plain text documents:

[]$ sed 's/^*/  */'
