Hi Christian

Whether or not the 'Something' should be a heading depends on the content
and function of the list.  Quite often, the text preceding a list is a
lead-in sentence e.g.

While on leave I will:
- make curtains
- get daughter organised for school
- relax (hah!).

I would mark the lead-in as a para rather than a heading, the rest as items
in an unordered list.

Subject: [WSG] A Question of Semantics

Hello,

I have a small semantic problem that I can't make up my mind about. 
Basically, I have a list like this: "Something: blah blah; blah; blah". 
The "Something:" is a different font size, and kind of a header for the
list. I can't decide if I should just do a paragraph with "Something" 
strong or in a span, or if I should do a header and then the text in a
paragraph, with some CSS to make it look properly, or if I should make it
some kind of definition or other list.

What do you think?

Thanks.
