So that's the main problem.

Why do people use lists, which take a line for each item? It's easy to
do it without lists and thus having the items of one level all in a
line.

Take a look at http://suckless.org the navigation uses a list (which
consists of block items in HTML terms) and the CSS puts them into one
line. That's clearly not the straight way.

Simply omit the <ul> and <li> tags and your text browser shows the
navigations similar to the CSS-included view. They consume less lines
and navigating is not worse.
