I got a better theory on why lists are used for forms...

people have fallen for lists and believe that they are the bees knees for every 
(x)html problem they encounter.

from what I can see the reason lists have come into use in forms has a 
lot to do with javascript libraries that have re-ordering of elements by 
drag and drop that tend to work mainly on lists. Therefore lists are 
useful to wrap form elements if you are creating form building software 
so the form elements can be easily reordered by non-technical users.
