Comment (by dd32):

 > `<div></div>` & `<span></span>`
 The ones I can find appear to be needed, based on their locations

 > `<ul></ul>`
 Appears that this would get filled with `<li>`'s from an ajax request

 > `<li></li>`
 I don't see any of those

 All in all, these tags are usually like this within either HTML templates
 for JS actions, or are used for styling purposes (for example, nested
 `:before`'s.
 If you can find any in the UI which have no styling or JS interacting with
 them, then we can clean them up, but you'll need to list the specific
 instances of the tags which are unused.
