For me, they're about the same.

Actually, I'd rather read an XHTML/HTML itemized list than a POD one;
they both look ugly, but the excessive vertical whitespace in POD lists
makes them nigh unreadable to me.

Having said that, I'm not fond of writing XML/HTML by hand.  I'd far
rather write an author-friendly language and have that translated to
XML.
