I was reinventing the wheel here. wp_page_menu()
(http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_page_menu ) is designed to
do what I want. This generates a DIV which contains an unordered list
where each list item contains a link.

Doesn't the default unordered list go against the concept of separating
data from presentation and semantic representation? I know that a UL is
a popular way to represent a menu, but a menu is, semantically, a
different part of a document than the traditional meaning of the word
"list". For example, a list of my favorite movies isn't equivalent to
the menu. The menu is an index of the entire site's content, not
actually part of the current document.
Anyway, that's a debate for a different list :)
Thank you.
