 When run through the W3C's validator (validator.w3c.org), a page
 containing the example code for this function, as shown in the codex, will
 generate an error for each link category header, similar to:

 >>Error  Line 264, Column 36: document type does not allow element "li"
 here; missing one of "ul", "ol", "menu", "dir" start-tag
 >>
 >><li id="linkcat-45" class="linkcat"><h2>Local Campaigns</h2>

 The cause of this is that the list lacks an outer set of <ul>...</ul>
 tags, meaning that the header list items are not within a list context
 (unlike the nested lists for the links themselves).

 Adding an outer set of unordered list tags resolves this issue, and the
 page will validate successfully.
