Jonathan, while the list is not a list problem with Safari is certainly a
problem (in my opinion), it's not quite what I was asking about. In fact,
it's kind of the opposite. I was asking about incorrect HTML being
interpreted as correct by the screen reader. In the Safari case, it's the
browser that is not setting the role to list for lists that don't have
decorations. If you bring up the list in Firefox or Chrome on the Mac, it
reads just fine.
