Hi Jonathan--
You may want to go with no list at all, and with the Item 1 > Item 2 >
Item 3 sequence that has become conventional--if not very logical for
screen reader users.
Otherwise I wonder if screen reader users might confuse it with the
navigation bar. Just a thought.

Hi everyone,
A navigation breadcrumb is typically a sequence of text links implying
a hierarchical relationship between breadcrumbs. A logical
implementation in HTML would be to use an ordered list, however there
are two approaches to doing this:
1. A flat ordered list.
2. A nested ordered list.
Example: Item 1 > Item 2 > Item 3
Approach 1 - Flat List: <ol><li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item
3</li></ol>
Approach 2 - Nested List: <ol><li>Item 1</li> <li><ol><li>Item 2</li>
<li><ol><li>Item 3</li></ol></li></ol></li></ol>
Question 1: Which of these approaches would be preferred with respect
to accessible navigation? The nested list approach carries more
relational information, but may be unnecessary. Seems to me that
Approach 2 is better suited for a menu system and not necessarily for
flat navigation.
Question 2: Is there an alternative implementation that should be
considered?
Thanks!
- Jonathan.
