It might seem to make more sense depending on what you're trying to do, 
but it is incorrect. A list should have nothing inside of it but list 
elements. Those list elements may in turn contain other lists. But in 
option 2, the nested lists are not inside of list elements.

Granted, most browsers render the two identically or nearly so. But 
remember the old saying: [paraphrased here]

Where standards are involved, _accept_ incorrect things as liberally as 
possible, and _generate_ things that adhere to the standard as strictly as 
possible.
