Hi Zsolt,
If you choose the <ul> solution, some screen readers (at least JAWS)
won't report the list as such, so: the L quick nav key reports "no
lists", you won't be able to navigate through items, and yes, you'll
break the main rule about not using items for other semantic roles if
possible. So go for the <nav> option.

Hi all,

Do you know any preferences (pro&contra) of these markups?

1.

<nav>
<ul>
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
</ul>
</nav>


2.
<ul role="navigation">
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
</ul>
