No. It becomes presentationally eqivelent to SPAN, but structurally it
remains a list.
Having a way to generate content through a style sheet would make it
possible to change the presentation as well. E.g.:
LI {
display: inline
before: "[";
after: "]"
}
This didn't make it into CSS1 but is still on our lists, so to say.
