li a? or a li...

i know theres a difference in the order and what they do. I kike <a><li>home</li></a> better cause it seems to make styling easier. Is there a problem doing it that way? I'm pretty sure Nick in "building a wesite" did it the reverse.

Hi John,

Block-level links in HTML5 are acceptable.

I've specifically run into problems recently when trying to nest a li inside a. It's not valid HTML, technically the browser is only ever expecting to see li children of an ul or ol.
