By your logic, a table is the "right tool" for almost any list. Unordered list?
You can either have the bullet on, or off if you type backspace at the
beginning of the paragraph. That's essentially data. So you should have a
two-column table, with one column being either empty or with a bullet. Numbered
list? You can restart the numbering at every paragraph, and change the starting
number, if you like, so - essentially you're storing a number for every value.
So you should have a two-column table, with an index column.

> So IMO: mainly WF. The "What people do today" is *the* correct thing to do.

Degenerate tables which wrap paragraphs in rows, take up the entire text width,
continue over multiple pages, have no borders, and are not perceived by the
reader as tables - are generally a fallback alternative to, or an emulation of,
a more refined mechanism.

Come on, you should be excited about this! After four decades of GUI word
processors, there aren't many opportunities to introduce fundamental features.
This is one of those! This feature has the potential to be one of the staple
text formatting features that any self-respecting office suite has. It will be
a "D'oh, how did we not have this before?" kind of an obvious feature.
