Typically, the expected behavior from hitting backspace at the beginning of a list line is to remove the bullet/number at that indent level so it is no longer a list, and no more. VisualEditor will completely delete the line itself and move the text to the end of the previous line. This is not how OpenOffice or Word works.
Agreed. For | <ol><li><p>|</p></li><li><p>Foo</p></li></ol> … backspace at the cursor position indicated should convert the document into: | <p>|</p><ol><li><p>Foo</p></li></ol> … with the initial <p> being a slug. For nested list items we should pop to the next level: | <ol><li><p>Foo</p></li><li><ol><li><p>|</p></li><li><p>Foo</p></li></ol></li></ol> -> | <ol><li><p>Foo</p></li><li><p>|</p></li><li><ol><li><p>Foo</p></li></ol></li></ol> I think?
