Forms as lists

Hi All,

I am starting to see forms being presented as lists on a more regular basis but I am struggling to find the rationale for this. Some recent testing with an experienced JAWS user highlighted this as a slight issue for him. My opinion is that this is not an accurate use of semantic markup, however, I am aware that some have argued that a form is a list of questions.

Does anyone have any experience of this? How do screen reader users find this sort of form?

Thanks for any input,

Kevin
