Dictionary.com's definition of 'paragraph': "A distinct division of written or printed matter that begins on a new, usually indented line, consists of one or more sentences, and typically deals with a single thought or topic or quotes one speaker's continuous words." I read 'one or two sentences' as meaning not lists, so semantically speaking a paragraph can't have a list in it, but I see the argument. If I was concerned about "Mark went to the store and bought eggs, milk, bread, chicken, rice, and corn." containing a list, I might do: <p>Mark went to the store and bought:</p> <ul> <li>eggs</li> <li>milk</li> ...etc... </ul> I would tend to see that as 'continuous words' though, rather than an explicit list. Either way, I think the standard's got it right and you shouldn't nest ul's or ol's *in* a paragraph.
