How about <LI CLASS="DEL" >?

How about bilingual lists that have to be aligned in two columns?

On the other hand, once I have a list, I can put it into a table cell.  
Then I translate the list into the neighbouring cell 
and I realise that the translations do not align.  
According to your recipe, 
I have to convert the original list structure to something else, 
something that older browsers do not support well.  
I feel frustrated about that.
