CSS is often counter-intuitive but on this particular point, are
you sure? Look at some books and mags and you will, of course,
see many paragraphs. In some, there will be lists, graphs and
pics. But - unless you count an inline list that flows along with
the text, even comma separated, you won't see many paras with
"down the page" lists inside them. For the reason, I suppose,
that when the list stops and the text begins after the list, that
text counts as a new para. Yes, I can see if the "after the list"
text is not indented and the text before form a whole "thought",
the issue is then blurred and you might call the whole a para.
But this is rare. And you case seemed not of this type.

It was hard to know especially because you had just one item in
your example. Don't be coy about explaining and putting in more
context when posting!
