Go read the W3C recommendations for HTML, in particular the DTD for HTML
4.01 Strict. _This_ is what says is correct, not a tutorial somewhere
or a common preference. DTDs aren't the easiest things to learn to
read, but they're worth making the effort if you're starting to care
about such things.

The _ONLY_ thing you can validly out in a <ul> is a <li>

So if you want <ul> "inside" another <ul> (or a <p> inside a <ul>, or
whatver you're after), then you have to do it by having an intermediate
<li> between them, as your example shows.
