Hi Barbara,

Thanks for your comments which as usual are very direct and always
useful :-)

I guess what I wanted to do was create a specific look for Birth
Death and Marriage list data on a genealogy site, a type of list that
is found many times across the site.

Initially this involved no bullets or indents, hence the poor choice
of name but I guess later will involve other changes so more
accurately the selector should be .ul-birthdata for example.

Have I understand your comments accurately?

Andrew.
