219265 - list within list results in code that doesn't validate with w3c

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 54479

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[James Strandboge]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030723 Epiphany/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030723 Epiphany/0.9.2

Open composer and click 'Apply or remove bulleted list' (though it is true of
numbered list as well).  This creates a bullet.  Type some text, press enter
(creating a 2nd bullet).  Press Tab-- this creates an indented hollow bullet (a
list within a list).  Type text, press return 3 times to get out of both lists.
 Now go to http://validator.w3c.org and the page doesn't validate.

The problem is that mozilla writes this:
<ul>
  <li>first bullet</li>
  <ul>
    <li>indented bullet</li>
  </ul>
</ul>

whereas w3c wants this:
<ul>
  <li>first bullet
    <ul>
      <li>indented bullet</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

In other words <ul> is not a valid element for <ul> and needs to be within the
<li> tags.

Thanks
