Try it in Lynx (last stable release came out last year, newer development 
builds are available), you'll find it very difficult to tell the difference 
between "white space between links" and "white space inside links". i.e. the 
only way to tell where one link ends and the next begins will be to step 
through them one at a time. As a sentence goes, it won't make a lot of sense 
either.

A single link will rarely be an entire paragraph.

Lists are the right choice here, other posts to this thread explain some of the 
ways that screen readers handle them.
