According to my limited understanding of DTDs, its possible to
include more than one with a web page. What if someone wrote a simple
DTD that inluded an inline list element, such as <il></il> (suggested
by Big John - see below). Or with some navigation tags, such as
<nav></nav>.
If people are looking for a horizontal solution, these tags should
degrade gracefully if the browser can't read the DTD.
If this DTD were then made available to the developer community, we
could simply create our own solution to the problem.

This method really just simulates the way an 'inline' <ul>
would behave (more or less). Too bad we ain't got one, eh?
Without a tag like <il>, (inline list)
it seems that this issue is unresolvable.
