HLIST
I recently modified this template, inline with
WP:HLIST, in order to make it more accessible and standards-complaint (as outlined on that meta page). I have been reverted with the edit summary "looks awful", which seems rather unnecessary, given that the template is usually collapsed. We shouldn't let visual dressing trump such issues; and the defualt navbox appearance is used on thousands of articles. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing);

I attempted a new version
[1]. it may be possible to get the dots to go away on the first line, but I didn't make any serious attempts. One way to do this would be to stick it all inside a table, and right justify the lines, but center the table.

The only problem is that there needs to be a forced space in front of 1889, where the bullet would be. To get rid of the blank space, you'd either have to format it like your sandbx version, or make 2 columns using navbox|child and navbox with columns. --

I agree that the inner table, with text-align:right is a hack, but it was the only way I could come up with to match the old format. I actually like the sandbox version. it's much more compact with less whitespace, and no redundant group labels.

The template is 2 columns in Mozilla, but only 1 column in IE9, so this still needs to be fixed. Also, in the first line the 1889 is still a notch to the left and is not aligned with the column. --

how about if we just get rid of the multirow format and go with one list
[3]? I think this is a better format, since it's more concise and doesn't have the line wrapping problem on narrow screens, and has less whitespace on wider displays.
