This discussion has finally convinced me that breadcrumb trails should not be marked up as lists.
Without the entire path, it doesn't matter where the actual href goes. For instance: I tell a user that the file they want is in the folder "widgets". They go looking for their file in c:/widgets. Because I neglected to tell them that they need to look in c:/stuff/widgets they are left confused and wondering what happened. This is the same with breadcrumbs. Leaving out any part of the path renders the visual trail useless. This leads me to the decision that the breadcrumb trail should be displayed as a sentance, with each relevent word linked.
