Web Pagination Controls

Doing some background research on pagination controls for searches that
return large result sets, the de facto approach seems to be a string of
anchors for page links (e.g. YUI-Paginator). My thinking is that
incorporating an unordered list would be appropriate, though I infer
there is some good reason for foregoing the list for pagination UIs.
I'm wondering if folks have an opinion one way or another on this. I
have not done any testing with ATs; does the UL just add clutter? On
the other hand, without CSS most of these pagination controls turn to
visual mush.



Thanks,
