This implies that you agree that listitems require a name. Can you
provide the rationale? I'm not saying there isn't one, nor that the
requirement is wrong, but I simply don't know (remember?) what the
rationale is/was.
An implication is that if list items don't require a name, browsers are
no longer required to create one from the item's contents. For
comparison, paragraphs do not require a name. Paragraphs are containers
of structured text and can be short, medium, or long. What is the
difference between a paragraph and a listitem such that the latter
requires a name?
