Because of an issue on one of my modules, I was trying to get some taxonomy-term-like stuff to validate. Finally I decided just to check a real "taxonomy/term" page and it fails to validate as XHTML strict.

Error  Line 144, Column 51: document type does not allow element "ul" here; missing one of "object", "ins", "del", "map", "button" start-tag .

…s="taxonomy"><ul class="links inline"><li class="first last taxonomy_term_72"

Line 144 is:

<span class="taxonomy"><ul class="links inline"><li class="first last taxonomy_term_72"><a href="/taxonomy/term/72" rel="tag" title="A proprietary operating system from Microsoft." class="taxonomy_term_72 active">Windows</a></li>

As I answered on the dev list (and as Andrew correctly guessed), that UL is a block element inside a SPAN, which is an inline element. The fact that it is themed as being inlinse with the CSS class "inline" does not change that nesting constraint.

The attached patch contains a quick fix, but it feels really hackish: someone with better drupal theming knowledge should improve it. Also, it has been created by TortoiseCVS, BTW, so it is probably not in canonical format for a core patch.

This is hardly critical, IMHO, though.
