I don't think anybody was arguing that having the list markup will signal "this is a breadcrumb" to an AT user. The reason for having a list was more fundamentally: when you have lots of links, it's a well-trodden cowpath / pattern to mark these up as a list. And in that context, knowing if I'm about to encounter 3 or 42 links is quite significant (in that I know whether I can/should work my way through them individually, or just skip the entire block). > So > what is the logical reason why a breadcrumb should be an <ol>, or (on > some odd grounds) a <ul>? The same logical reason for which the large majority of sites mark up general navigation (be it styled horizontally or vertically) as a list... P -- Patrick H.
