Just be careful when you remove the list style via CSS, Apple considers the
element "not a list" anymore and you won't hear the metadata announced of
how many items are in the list, which was the whole point of adding a list.

Fortunately, you can work around it by adding the list role back to the
list. It looks unnecessary so make sure you comment your code accordingly.

<ul style="list-style-type: none;" role="list">
