Pete,

This may sound insane but the problem is fixable by floating the ul element.

ul { float: left; }

0r if more specific version is needed:

ul#wrapped-list { float: left; }

This will have a major impact on content that comes after the list (will
appear up beside the list), but this could be fixed by clearing after the
list. You could clear the semantically pure way:

Or, you could apply an html based clear after the list.

Ok, I know it is a weird solution...
