I believe what David is trying to get at is that your navigation should be
marked up in a way that indicates that there is a relationship between the
navigational items. This relationship helps people who cannot or choose not
to interact with the navigation visually.

One way to create that relationship is to create a list of links, where each
link is one list item <li> in an ordered <ol> or unordered <ul> list. You
can then style that list of links to appear horizontally or vertically and
relate to each other visually, while still maintaining that relationship
even when the links are unstyled for whatever reason.

In my opinion, if you're going to create a list containing only one item for
each link in your menu, you'd be better off enclosing each link in a <span>
tag and styling it that way.

Ron
