accesskeys and an ordered list starting at 0

So I'm trying to add a page that described the accesskeys on my site and I
am having trouble figuring out how to properly mark it up. The page is
XHTML 1.0 strict and I'm not keen on lowering it.

The accesskeys are 0-9 as suggested at
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/accesskey.html and following the
system suggested under "There is also a proposed standard list for
government sites" (since there is no better standard that I am aware of)

So the question is, do I mark it up as an OL and leave off zero (since it
starts at 1 and can't be legally started at 0) or do I just mark it as an
UL and manually number them, or just give up and throw them in a table?

Here's what I have so far:

Accesskeys:
<ul>

<li>0 = This page</li>
<li>1 = not i n use </li>
<li>2 = What&#8216;s New</li>
<li>3 = Sitemap</li>
<li>4 = Search</li>
<li>5 = not in use</li>
<li>6 = not in use </li>
<li>7 = not in use</li>
<li>8 = not in use</li>
<li>9 = Feedback</li>
</ul>
