This is the type of question that could be answered by looking at the source: django/newforms/forms.py (search for "def as_ul"). You can see it isn't wrapped in any special way, but it's also trivial to create your own method that presents the text however, you like. You could even call your custom method (in your Form subclass) as_ul(), so that you don't need to change any of your code. The presentation methods (as_ul, as_table, as_p, etc) in the Form class are purely convenience method and cannot hope to be perfect for the needs of everybody. They are designed to be overridden, since they are just a format string with a bunch of variables substituted in.
