Lists can *only* have list items (ul > li) inside them. You can have
other lists inside those list items (ul > li > ul), but ul > ul is
forbidden.
The example you may have been looking at is only valid because in HTML
4.01, end tags for list items are optional. The sublists are still part
of the list item.
