Handling Lists in an editable TextArea

I'm in the process of creating an internal app that has a WYSIWYG component (build on TLF2.0).  The SimpleEditor and TextLayoutEditor sample apps have been a great help in this area.  The feature I'm really struggling with is Lists.  They're an absolute requirement (and the main reason we're using tlf 2.0).  I found the EditManager.createList method which has made creating lists incredibly simple and gives exactly the UX I wanted for creating a list.  However, removing the list (without removing its content) is turning out to be a huge pain.  Is there an easy way that I'm missing?  What would you suggest?
