Are you mentioning this because it is something that need to be fixed?

I'm guessing your code looked like this without the closing tag for the unordered list?

<ul>
  <li>item1</li>
  <li>item2</li>

Many times things work in html and css without following the rules and tags can work without closing them. However, in order to write quality code we have to follow the rules so that others could comprehend what we have written. As a side note, things may work now by breaking rules but later on poor coding will create problems when the site is launched or when it becomes more complicated and sophisticated. The challenge task is saying it correct because it is getting the required results.
