I have a series of unordered lists with thumbnail items that want to
present as one, big list of thumbnails.
In order to do that, I floated the <li> items but not the <ul> ones, so
the area of <ul> kind of 'collapsed' and the different lists 'merged':

If I were to float the <ul>'s then I would end up with something like this:
http://geocities.ws/sweepslate/float-child-nonfloat-parent/seperate.html
CSS validates but I want to ask if it is considered bad practice to
float the child elements but not the parent one - and if there is any
insight you'd would like to share.
P.S.: For anyone wondering there is a reason why I'm not doing just one
list. This is a thumbnail gallery and each list is precedded by an <h3>.
I will position:absolute the <h3> at the side.
