Re: Sol and Lee
I guess it could just be personal preference but I'm not sure you get
the idea behind it.

"Good HTML structure is based on logic, order, and using semantically
correct markup."
This isn't new or a fad it is just using HTML and CSS as intended. The
site layout and style can be contained entirely within the CSS with the
XHTML documenting the structure. This has the added bonus that resulting
stylesheets can be used as interchangable skins for websites.
Here are some well respected websites all of which use unordered list
for menus, both horizontal and vertical it doesn't matter.

The list-style-types property is irrelevant it is the semantics of the
li, and ul elements. A menu is an unordered list of items.
We can easily set the positioning and graphics for menus using XSLT. The
only difference is using the ; not using LIs
means you need to set the bullet characters manually rather than using
the defaults provided by every browser. The examples I saw set the
list-style to "none" (but I only checked a few), so DIVs would have
worked as well as LIs.
Not really for this list but... If you have a list of things then it's
best to use list elements. If your
dividing up a page into sections its best to use a div.
By keeping to the html meaning of elements your pages have a chance of
working in differering situations. Screen readers will speak your
naivgation better, text based browsers and user set accesability css
will read better etc
