I think many of us have abused <blockquote> and <dl> in the past to take
advantage of the default appearance of these elements to suit our need for
indenting, etc.

I can almost hear him thinking, "What have I started, it was just a simple
question."

It may be that a nested list is the best approach but visually, it does not
entirely follow standard appearance of genealogy trees.
The following is how a default nested list might look.
<nested_lists appearance=default>
- Me
- My father
- My father's father
- My father's mother
- My mother
- My mother's father
- My mother's mother
</nexted_lists>
whereas, with positional CSS, the following appearance could be created
while keeping the above list structure.
<nested_lists appearance=Positional_CSS>
- My father's father
- My father
- My father's mother
- Me
- My mother's father
- My mother
- My mother's mother
</nested_lists>
Another 2 cents.
