For the benefit of Screen-readers and textmode browsers, I add a LI with
the text 'breadcrumb' at the top of the list which is then hidden using
CSS. It's not a perfect solution but it works.
<ul>
<li class="first">Breadcrumb: </>
<li><a>Menu Item 1</></>
<li><a>Menu Item 2</></>
<li><a>Menu Item 3</></>
</>
As it's an unordered list, it implies that there is no particular order
to the items...you could jumble them up at random and they'd still
retain their meaning. This, of course, is not true for home paths /
breadcrumb trails. The order is quite specific, so if lists are your
thing, ordered lists should really be used. For the same reason, having
the first item "breadcrumb" does not imply anything, as it's a sibling
of the other list items...which is not the case.
