Is a list containing only one child element really a list? Is this false semantics?

When I hear the list, I expect there will be more than one item.

Is this really a problem? Am I just semantically anal?

<h3>Search Results</h3>
<ul>
    <li><a href="??">only one result</a></li>
</ul>

Does one element of a list of child elements really not look like such a list? Has anyone else thought about this too?

I think it can be said that a single-element list is still a list.

You might want to consider the list not only in terms of what it has, but also in terms of what it is allowed to have.

Both in the terminal definition and in the form of a data type, a list can have only one element.

(Where would you start?))

The list may contain empty, 1 or more items. In your case

<!-- empty unordered list -->
<ul>
</ul>

<!-- unordered list contains 1 element -->
<ul>
    <li><a href="??">only one result</a></li>
</ul>
