Title: RE: [WSG] OL or UL? It´s rigth?





I would discourage anyone from keeping with old mark-up habits where tags are left open. It is a legacy from browsers that ignored such semantics. Don't count on a browsers 'interpretation' of the DOM to get it right, feed the browser good code and it will reward you in the long run. 

It's lazy, it's 1994, don't do it!

 No, you can't. Unordered lists can only have list items as child
 elements.

OK, maybe so... but deprecated means it's not a good idea to use it 
(just because it 'works' doesn't mean you should).

Whether you're using HTML4 or XHTML, it's simply a good idea to close 
all tags. This is what's known as 'well-formed markup' - and is 
definitely best practice.
