If you turn off list styling, then yes, Safari/VO chooses not to convey the
semantics of the list, which I personally feel is wrong. It's still a list
even if I don't have bullet points. I believe there is some CSS magic you
can do to still have VO read it as a list even with bullet points off.
Scott O'Hara has a blog regarding that -
