>From the DTD, ordered and unordered lists contain list items ....
<!ELEMENT ol (li)+>
<!ELEMENT ul (li)+>
... list items contain "Flow" content ...
<!ELEMENT li %Flow;>
... "Flow" content includes "block" content ....
<!ENTITY % Flow "(#PCDATA | %block; | form | %inline; | %misc;)*">
... "block" content includes "lists" ...
<!ENTITY % block
"p | %heading; | div | %lists; | %blocktext; | isindex |fieldset |
table">
... and "lists" includes ordered and unordered lists ...
<!ENTITY % lists "ul | ol | dl | menu | dir">
.... so yes, XHTML transitional does allow nested lists.
