Erk, they weren't actully being stripped, I meant what was supposed to
the happening was \r\n and \n\r were both supposed to be replaced by \n,
but the regular expression to do that was broken and so wasn't
working...

Found the problem. Due to the dodgy regular expression, some of the
lines I was joining had \r's in them.
Apparently, \r's interact badly with the Structured Text paragraph
detecter, which matches \n(some spaces)\n
I'll go comment on that in the StructuredTextNG wiki...

Gak.. I meant "why are the '-'s _not_ being turned into list items?" :S

The reason was 'cos none of the paragraph seperations were being picked
up...

sorry for the confusion...
