Would it perhaps make sense to add classes to the un-normal use of these
tags outside of lists, rather than to their usage within lists?

I could see such an approach having a larger footprint in the code, but
resulting in smaller and arguably more meaningfully classed/tagged HTML
files.

Just a thought,
