Yes, this works. In the past, I've also made lists that are a bit more general, allowing one to select what type of list (ordered or unordered) and also allow items to have multiple paragraphs, links to other documents, and code blocks. Here's the old Bricolage site template:
https://github.com/bricoleurs/bricolagecms-templates/blob/master/templates/XHTML/list.mc
There used to be a page on the site that showed element relationships graphically; Phillip, what happend to all that stuff? You should be able to get the idea, though. In case you need something more flexible.
Best,
David
