    Though it has one benefit of knowing the number of form fields, I would suggest NOT to use the <ul> for form fields. The cons are -
    
    - The screen reader keyboard shortcuts are different to interpret the "list items" and "form fields"
    - While in virtual cursor mode (using DOWN arrow key), it first announce the "list" in the beginning of form (e.g.) "list of 7 items". This can be confusing to understand the presence of form elements vs the list items which are considered to be different components by its interpretation
    - Again, nesting of <ul> may be required for the consecutive fields (e.g. Date of Birth)?
    
    Thanks,
    Poornima.
