Speaking of lists, when I showed Org mode this week-end to some "hard LaTeX
guy", when he saw that we could choose between "-", "+" and "*" for itemized
lists and between "1." and "1)" for enumerated lists (whichever the depth
level), he suggested (for enumerated lists) that:
- 2nd level items should be:
(a) ...
(b) ...
(c) ...
(d) ...
- 3rd level items should be:
i. ...
ii. ...
iii. ...
iv. ...
or:
i. ...
ii. ...
iii. ...
iv. ...
- 4th level items should be:
A. ...
B. ...
C. ...
D. ...
It is what is implemented (following typographical rules?) for both French and
English (at least) in LaTeX. See:

Dunno what you think about that, dunno if that's feasible and easy... But
wanted to share with you his point of view...
Best regards,
