You should check your wrapping of menues, probably you have some flaws there. 
Following TS gives a clean ul/li menu. Textbased.

----code----
## Menu [Begin]
lib.mainMenu = HMENU
lib.mainMenu.entryLevel = 0
lib.mainMenu.wrap = <ul>|</ul>
lib.mainMenu.1 = TMENU
lib.mainMenu.1.NO {
	allWrap = <li>|</li>
}
	
lib.mainMenu.1.ACT = 1
lib.mainMenu.1.ACT {
	allWrap = <li class="act">|</li>
}
---code end---

I'm using TV to map the template, and the menu is mapped to a div-tag.

The output look like this.
<div id="main-nav">
  <ul>
     <li class="act"><a href="index.php?id=home" onfocus="blurLink(this);">Home</a></li>
     <li><a href="index.php?id=60" onfocus="blurLink(this);">Something</a></li>
     <li><a href="index.php?id=59" onfocus="blurLink(this);">Another page</a></li>
     <li><a href="index.php?id=58" onfocus="blurLink(this);">Support</a></li>
     <li><a href="index.php?id=57" onfocus="blurLink(this);">Help us</a></li>
     <li><a href="index.php?id=56" onfocus="blurLink(this);">A last page</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

You should also use following in your TS.

config.xmlprologue = none  /no xmlprologue at top 
config.doctype = xhtml_trans  /define the dtd
config.xhtml_cleaning = all  /cleans code

I'm always using either XHTML 1.0 Trans or Strict. And the example was orginally 
made on ver 3.8.1 and are also tested on 4.0beta3.
