Not necessary: (1) This sort of list (2) where items are rendered as a
continuous paragraph (3) rather than as lines (4) is useful
Also, it tells a user agent (such as a robot) that the information is a
list of things. (Whether a robot would rate things in a list as more or
less important is another matter.)
