What about what Niels Matthijs said, in a comment to your post: [1] ]] When you don’t want lists, then at least use block elements to differentiate between element. With inline elements a breadcrumb becomes a single “sentence” which makes no sense at all. Each link is a separate entity, not part of an inline expression. [[ While ”div is a semantically neutral element”,[2] screen readers treats it different from span - at least VoiceOver does.
