Indeed, and what if you want to have a list item with more than one
para as a child? I guess Kindle demands:

<li>This is my first para. <p>This is my second para.</p></li>

But then what if I want to add a class to that first <p> but not to
the second? I guess you'd have to wrap the first para in a div instead.
