Ticket Title

Nested lists do not nest. I've tried:

* Item 1
	  * Item A
	  * Item B

I get a flat list.

Tried it here too:

Actually nested lists work fine when you indent with __4__ spaces (I changed the title to better fit the actual situation).  I realize that the Perl implementation works with 2 spaces of indent, but the fact is the syntax rules make no mention of any nested lists whatsoever and all other types of blocks require 4 spaces so Python-Markdown is consistent and requires 4 spaces for all types of nests content in lists (at least the first line of each block must be nested 4 spaces).

Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I'm considering this a bug in the perl implementation (and all other implementations that have copied its behavior). This will be marked wontfix in a few days.  Please take any discussions on the matter to the mailing list.
