 Hi all,

 I've discovered a bug, but I'm unsure whether it is actually a WordPress
 issue or a TinyMCE issue.

 When copying + pasting a list from word, list item text is ignored when
 the contents are only a single word with a period.

 {{{
 <ul>
     <li>This works.</li>
     <li>Nope.</li>
 </ul>
 }}}
 My interpretation of this issue is that WordPress (or perhaps TinyMCE
 itself) is attempting to remove "duplicate list indicators". Something
 along the lines of this.

 {{{
 <ul>
     <li>a. a list item</li>
     <li>b. another list item</li>
 </ul>
 }}}

 In this example, it makes sense to remove `a.` and `b.`, but perhaps a
 more explicit regular expression pattern is required to ensure we are not
 removing words. Things like `xi.` and `iv.` etc. should also be caught, as
 they are roman numerals.
