As a start, I just set up a test page using the markup Hagan offered
above. Personaly, I would prefer a nested unordered list and have made
that change (with diff's for others to see that hagan's code results
in the same look as the current default) Go ahead and add your
improvements here:

I noticed that the result is wrapped in
    <div class='fpltemplate'>

Any easy way to change that class in the markup? That would provide
for some easy styling hooks. One thing I like about nested lists is
the ease of styling each level - eliminating the need for the div
Hagan suggested.

The CSS would then look something like this:

    MyClass ul {...}

    MyClass ul li {...}

    MyClass ul ul {...}

which would eliminate the need for the %block list-style=none% in the markup.
