Problem: not backwards compatible (w.r.t. styling) See this page with different browsers: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C%21DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0A%3Cbody%3E%0A%3Cstyle%20type%3D%22text/css%22%3Eul%20caption%20%7B%20text-decoration%3A%20underline%3B%20%7D%3C/style%3E%0A%3Cul%3E%3Clh%20style%3D%22color%3A%20green%22%3ECaption%3C/lh%3E%3Cli%3EItem%201 You can also try with <lh>, almost same results (much better in Firefox). http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C%21DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0D%0A%3Cbody%3E%0D%0A%3Cstyle%20type%3D%22text/css%22%3Eul%20lh%20%7B%20text-decoration%3A%20underline%3B%20%7D%3C/style%3E%0D%0A%3Cul%3E%3Clh%20style%3D%22color%3A%20green%22%3ECaption%3C/lh%3E%3Cli%3EItem%201 Better results with <p>, but not semantically a good choice. Using an <ul> or <ol> nested inside a <dl> is not that bad after all... -- Thomas Broyer
