Rule: Blank lines in between list items

(Edit: the link is now http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-style-guide/#empty-lines-inside-lists )

The style guide actually specifies that there should always be blank lines between all list items in a given list, or there should be no blank lines in between list items. We should check a document for inconsistent list separation. Note: This is just inconsistency within a single list (and not even in nested lists), not across the entire document.

See also #26 and #27 for list blank line rules, as well as a possibility for detecting list separation style.

My original thinking behind the rule was attempting to separate two lists by a single blank line, and them being rendered as a single list, which wouldn't be what the document author apparently intended. However, detecting the document style and reporting inconsistency works also. The documentation of the rule should explain that blank lines in between list items doesn't separate lists as well as referring to the style guide.

See also: http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-styleguide/#separate-consecutive-elements. This covers my original rationale, and I suspect the blockquote rule and other rules will cover other mistaken cases of element separation.

Is there a rule or tweaking/combination of rules I can use to achieve this currently?
