(a) the l element is purely presentational: it _is_ a line. It's not less
presentational than <br/>.
(b) it is useful only when you have a list of adjacent lines. So it's basically
a list (ul/ol) with list items (li) having no marker and no wrapping.
(c) using ul/ol/li instead of l makes it MUCH easier to number lines since you
have a known container to reset the numbering.
