Behavior isn't enough. Sorry, Andrew is 100% right here. A select _is_ a list of items. An <ul> is a list of items and a <select> is a list of choices. It only adds more granularity to the semantic definition - and even that is questionable since it can be called a behavioural difference - but you can't change the big image. A list is a list is a list... </Daniel>
