At first, I was thinking the same idea. But then I realized that stages in
a life cycle should be regarded as ordered contents.

I would recommend not over-thinking the matter. Otherwise soon you
will start wrapping your <p>s in <ol>/<li>s too to ensure they stay in
the correct order.

Indeed. The <ol> element is no more and no less ordered than <ul> or any other element. Many HTML tag names are misleading.

(The specification points this out as well: "The order of the list of
groups, and of the names and values within each group, may be
significant.")

That's actually a questionable statement there, since it may make the read ask whether the order of sub-elements is *generally* significant. It's as questionable as it would be to write "The order of successive p elements may be significant" or "The order of successive section elements may be significant".
