Just for kicks, I created a slide like this:

				Slide 1

	- Bullet 1
	- Bullet 2
	  - Bullet 2.1
	  - Bullet 2.2
	- Bullet 3

Here's the relevant fragment of the Keynote file (as formatted by Tidy):

<bullets>
  <bullet marker-type="inherited" level="0">
    <content tab-stops="L 75" font-size="64" font-color="g1"
    font-name="GillSans" paragraph-alignment="center">Slide
    1</content>
  </bullet>

  <bullet marker-type="inherited" level="1">
    <content paragraph-head-indent="5" tab-stops="L 45"
    font-size="32" font-color="g1" font-name="GillSans"
    paragraph-first-line-indent="5">Bullet 1</content>
  </bullet>

  <bullet marker-type="inherited" level="1">
    <content paragraph-head-indent="5" tab-stops="L 45"

  </bullet>

  <bullet marker-type="inherited" level="2">

  </bullet>

  <bullet marker-type="inherited" level="1" id="bullet-1">
