It's a list of information for the user. You can use floats to turn on/off horizontal/vertical display of the list. You'll have much more control over the list display than with a br
Also, you should move the pipes within an li tag or use the li or <a> border to act as the delimiter so a screen reader won't pick it up and say "pipe" or whatever (I think that's right?) . As an aside it's a good idea to watch that the characters # and | in that order :D You never know what the screen reader might say..
Also Also watch the "" in footer.

Apologies if this has been discussed before.
What is better in terms of semantics and accessibility?
<div id=""footer"> <p>stuff | more stuff<br /> stuff too | more stuff again</p> </div>
or
<div id=""footer"> <ul><li>stuff</li> | <li>more stuff</li> <li>stuff too</li> | <li>more stuff again</li></ul> </div>
Obviously the first one uses a <br /> to differentiate 2 lines, which I am sure can be done many other ways too.
The second method in my opinion has more control over the information as it uses <li>s instead of <p>, would it be right to say <p>s need be used more in the content area instead of footers.
Would appreciate your feedback on this.
