Logically the nested list is a child of the third list item and should be
wholly contained within it.
<ul>
<li>list item</li>
<li>list item</li>
<li>list item
<ul>
<li>nested list item</li>
<li>nested list item</li>
<li>nested list item</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
If it's not logically a child of that element, don't nest it. Use
blockquote if you simply want it indented further.
