It will be recognised as a list item, and nothing special would happen.
However if you wanted to continue a list item onto the next line like this:

* Start of long item
  And it continues on here

The text needs to line up exactly
with the start of the text on the previous line
So the following fragment won't work as expected:

*Start of long item
  And it continues on here

THere would need to be only one space on the second line.
