Further to my previous post, I'll suggest an alternative that will
behave reasonably well in Netscape 4.x:
<style type="text/css">
li { padding-top: 1.5em }
</style>
For some reason, Netscape 4.x does not render the padding-top value.
Why? I don't know. But the benefit of this is that your page will gracefully
degrade in Netscape 4.x (without any added space between <li> elements,
however) while still rendering with added spacing in IE4+, Mozilla 15, and
Opera 3.6+.
hth,
