[wp-hackers] wp_list_categories()

[Lynne Pope]

The unordered list output (ul) is correct for most sites and should not be
changed. Definition lists are used when something actually has pairs of
definitions or related terms. For most sites, the unordered list is the
right one to use. Some sites that have a very specialised focus may be
better using a definition list for categories.
To replace the unordered lists for those sites I have just edited
category-templates.php but maybe this could be added to pluggable.php so
users could easily override the function and change the unordered list to a
definition list (or even an ordered list) easily?
