The problem I see with this is knowing the author's intent. Should this be 
rendered as:

         * primary item
         * secondary item
                       - sub secondary item
                          same level as secondary (continuation of the text 
actually)
         * tertiary item

or:

         * primary item
         * secondary item
                       - sub secondary item same level as secondary 
(continuation of the text actually)
         * tertiary item

I can see uses for both. The first is for convenient editing, the second is 
to have a paragraph below the bullet item but with the same indent.
