We discussed this in another NG for about three days and I am on the SEO
fence on this but am willing to try <li> again for purposes of visitor
friendliness.

Of course, where's my head today?

Absolutely. I never considered that to be as important in web design as it
should. Will make the necessary alterations after lunch.

I write my code by hand. I don't like software to do it. Tedious I know but
I am particular as to how the SE spider reads it. Cluttered to a code
examiner, yes, but makes the pages quicker to load and quicker to spider.
Each line has 1032 ( I think ) maximum characters and SE spiders run through
it to the end of the line looking for content before the robot starts
reading the next line ( the end of the line used to be a good place to hide
content from code examiners ) . It's important for me to deliver the
keyphrase rich content as close to the beginning lines of code as logically
possible. I use only one tag per line, generally, but avoid spaces between
lines, I group related <table> tags because they take up the page's real
estate. I have experimented with both and tighter is better as long as it is
logically presented.
Again, thank you very much, your comments and perusal are greatly
appreciated.
