This is well in the realm of "it doesn't really matter" or "whatever looks best", I know, but I was curious as to whether or not there was a generally accepted convention about this (or a well-supported opinion).
Should the right padding/margin of a list more or less mirror what you do on the left side (first two bullet points below)? Or should it go all the way to the normal margin (second two bullet points)?
I only ask because I was working with a document today where the bullet point ended up sticking out further than the paragraphs above and below due to now they were ragged, but I'm working with limited vertical space and don't want to take another line on this particular list item.
