Excerpt from HTML 5 section 1.1.1:

   This specification represents a new version of HTML4 and XHTML1, along
   with a new version of the associated DOM2 HTML API. Migration from
   HTML4 or XHTML1 to the format and APIs described in this specification
   should in most cases be straightforward, as care has been taken to
   ensure that backwards-compatibility is retained.

list/item and removal of ul/dl/dl would break backwards-compatibility,
right ?

Note: "backwards-compatibility" is not defined in the spec, and one
could argue it's unclear what it really represents...
