Heuristics for when to ask "is this actually a list?" would have to be checked out for effectiveness. It is quite common to see emulation of <UL COMPACT> with <BR> marks. This is a good one to turn over to the robot sampling activity, to see what markup is in actual use for lists, that is not what we recognize as list markup. Al
