It must make sense to the browsers, because it works. If it was 
nonsense, wouldn't the browsers object? And, if your reasoning is 
that if a single browsers objects, then the code is nonsense, then 
isn't everything we do nonsense because very little works on all 
browsers?

The term "nonsense" in this discussion is really nonsense, isn't it?

My wife often sends me to the store with her shopping list and that 
often has one item on it. Do you want to tell her that her list is 
not a list? Also, if you have a list of five things to do and you 
finish four of them, is your list no longer a list?

This is starting to sound like the age old, a placeholder is not a 
number argument.

I used my single item list as a category holder to accomplish a 
presentation goal. This is not dissimilar to your site where you have 
a single list item of "Photo gallery". I understand that you simply 
listed all the categories you offer -- some have sub categories and 
some don't.

In my menu demo, all the main items fall under the main heading of 
"category" and some have subordinate lists and some don't.

I see that your goal here is to point out that my main category items 
are not a list, but they are. They are just not nested. I probably 
could do that, but it would add to the complexity and volume of code 
-- both of which are not desirable.

I see your point, do you see mine?
