Ah, I see.  So it's any element within a list item that's wrapped in
paragraph tags.

Hmm, that fixes the new line before the "sub bullet under test 3, with
a quote".  However, a new line still remains after the quote ends (and
before the "Test 4" starts).  Is it possible to nuke that too?  If
not, that's okay, I can live with it. :-)
