The tags in HTML do not specify the appearance of the text, only its 
meaning.  The <ul> and <ol> tags are peers of the <p> and cannot appear 
within a <p>. In HTML a <ul> or <ol> tag _terminates_ an unclosed <p> 
tag as if immediately preceded by a </p>.  XHTML is badly formed if the 
</p> is omitted.  Your "list" does not match the "meaning" of list as 
described by HTML which requires it to be a peer of paragraphs.

You should use a <span> tag with an appropriate style, for example <span 
class="list-item"> to contain each of the items.  This makes each item 
an HTML element that you can treat just like a <li>.  Contain the list 
items inside a <span class="ul-list">.
