You raise a good point, but I don’t think that’s reason to prevent such a feature. Some points: 1. In at least my browser, consecutive ULs actually have a blank line between them. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/105727/web/consecutive-uls.html (Screenshot of rendering in my browser: http://cl.ly/2X3Q1x3x172n060M3m2L) 2. Savvy authors writing for RSS-enabled feeds should know not to rely on CSS styles in any fashion, including the speculative kind I suggested.
