Are there any technical reasons (CSS / jQuery related) why to use <ul> tag for navigation bars, instead of just using a tags?
<nav>
<ul class="links">
<li><a href="/">Home page</a></li>
<li><a href="/about">About page</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
vs
<nav>
<a href="/">Home page</a>
<a href="/about">About page</a>
</nav>
