Hi John-

I've never had any problem nesting another UL *inside* a 
LI tag.  In other words, the structure was (in 
psuedo-code, with no closing tags):

UL
--LI
--LI
--LI
----UL
------LI
------LI
--LI

If you think about it, this makes sense.  The inner list 
will need some sort of introductory text anyway.  So 
inside one of the outer list items, you'll have some text,
a BR tag, a complete nested list, then close the outer LI 
tag.

Try it, and let me know if this doesn't make sense.
