All,

From a screen reader user point of view with lists, I find nested lists can distract from the meaning. Especially when the list has only one item within it. For example:

<ul>
<ul>
<li> text </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> text </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> text </li>
</ul>
</ul>

The use of landmarks is another possibility. Within the land mark you can have the related lists. Provide another means of structuring your content.
