I'm just starting to firm up the XWiki 2.0 Syntax. I'll be sending  
some emails shortly on the dev list.

Actually I've just tested your example and I get a different result:

beginList: [BULLETED]
beginListItem
onWord: [bold]
beginItalic
onWord: [bolditalik]
endItalic
onWord: [bold]
endListItem
endList: [BULLETED]

This is because since the start is at the beginning of a line it's  
considered to be a list item... My proposal to replace * with ** for  
bold items should fix that.

Thanks
