That's an interesting idea. It might work. Just be careful if you use CSS
list-style:none. On iOS, Apple decided that if you turn off the bullet
points for a list, then that removes the list semantics of the list and
it's essentially seen as a div or span. You have to specifically add the
list semantics back in with role="list".

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

This is another case where CSS (unintentionally) affects accessibility, at
least on a certain platform.

If you have code like this, make sure you comment why you're adding list
role back in because someone unaware might think it's superfluous and
remove it.
