In the past it has just seemed cumbersome to work with. Specifically it seems the list is in a container, so the container and the list both need to be formatted with css. Then items under the list need to be cleared. Maybe there is, but at this point I don't see the up side to using an ul. Perhaps I need to learn more, and then an up side will become apparent.
