Yes.
But isn't <p>text<br/>text</p> always a list of adjacent lines? ;-)

Yes, but that's not an argument against <l/> in general, only in some 
particular places. Still I consider <l/> more appropriate in many of these 
cases than <li/>. Imagine I want to number lines of code. I'd really prefer
<p class="code">
    <l>public class Hello {</l>
    <l>    public static void main(String[] args) {</l>
    <l>        System.out.println("hello, world");</l>
    <l>    }</l>
    <l>}</l>
</p>
very much over the variant using <li/> because I'd consider the latter one as 
abuse of <li/>. And the container required can always be generated using a 
class.
