Lists are not just a formatting construct, they have content semantics. Putting
multiple paragraphs in a list says something about them (especially, but not
only, when processing the document programatically, when using a voice-reader
etc).

A typical use case of lists without bullets or numbers are lists of recipients
or authors of a document, e.g. a letter. One often lists them one below another
- without bullets nor numbers.

So, an effectively-null glyph might work visually, but:

* It's a hack...
* One has to know their way around Unicode to figure that out. Which means, the
vast majority of users won't 

(Also, there's Zero-Width Space, perhaps a better option? Not sure. Still a
hack.)
