When in doubt, use wacky background colors. Depending on your design, red, lime, yellow, and blue are quick keywords that clearly alter the view without altering the layout (like adding borders does). You could try floating the list items left (and set the ul to overflow: hidden so that it expands to contain the floated items)
I'd argue that this isn't really tabular data, or at least that you don't intend to display it as such since each new row doesn't represent a new group, but a continuation of the previous one. Unordered list makes more sense to me. Having said all that, I'm not sure how to achieve the table layout you want with radius tags. Sorry to be of no help there.
