The problem is that this is strictly speaking a hack, not a solution,
because in the output it's not tagged as a list. This may not be a
problem if the output is HTML for user consumption, but if you're
outputting to XML, say, or if your HTML is postprocessed by semantic
analysis tools, they will fail to pick up on the fact that this is a
list.
