Ah, it doesn't say they should be defined in config, but of course one 
could/should. In any case, that's a redherring. My point is that the 
default values do no produce valid (x)HTML and it'd be nice if they did. 
Even if the user wants to, it's not easy since valid HTML doesn't permit a 
ul to be a child of ul. *If* you want validity, I am using the following in 
my flavour (foot.html):

<ul class="categories">$categorylinks</ul></li></ul>

and the defaults of in pycategories.py (or could define in my config).

DEFAULT_BEGIN = r'<li><ul class="categorygroup">'
DEFAULT_ITEM = r'<li><a href="%(base_url)s/%(fullcategory)sindex.
%(flavour)s">%(category)s</a> (%(count)d)</li>'
DEFAULT_END = "</ul></li>"

though there's probably an easier way though I can't figure it now.
