Oops, I switched from a <dl> list to <ul> but I forgot to actually
switch the enclosing tags! Fixed.

Good point, I'll fix it.

This is for accessibility reason. See:

Oops, thanks, fixed.

They can be removed by a CSS rule. I don't see an advantage in them per
se, but I wanted to use a list format element instead of a <p> with <br>
for each entry (cleaner, easier to parse). Do you think it shouldn't be
so?

Is that the "Discussion threads" vs "messages by thread" point?

Good idea, I'll try to see how that looks. I don't think I'll add a
search box to keep the page short.

David Booth did the same suggestion, I'll implement it.

Not sure either. I'll add in the list of open issues.

Good point.
