--- Comment #7 from Cameron Jones <cmhjones@gmail.com> ---
I thought the definition of <ol> vs <ul> was not regarding styling (ie, numbers
vs bullets or other notation which could equally be applied to either) but
regarding the ability for the list's elements to be reordered without impacting
its meaning:

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/grouping-content.html#the-ol-element

> The ol element represents a list of items, where the items have been intentionally ordered, such that changing the order would change the meaning of the document.

With that being the case then <ol> is the correct element to use for
breadcrumbs as the order is essential to its meaning.

Pertaining to hierarchical nesting of lists, this seems useless for breadcrumbs
as the additional siblings are never included within a breadcrumb trail. If
they were included it would be some form of sitemap.
