A jump list isn't an HTML document - I'm not sure describing it with html tags makes sense, since it'd be too easy to write invalid jumplist markup that's valid HTML. I could envisage somehow replacing RSS with HTML (use the right tags, in the right order, don't use the wrong tags), but it wouldn't make much sense.

A jump list isn't a bunch of metas either. An HTML <menu> or a specific, custom XML format can be ways to describe jumplists. These descriptions are then translated into whatever actual format jumlist specs use. No problem.

A jump list is a menu. So is a <menu> element. You could hardly make more sense.

A jumplist menu doesn't support the content that an HTML menu lets you author. It's only a superficially sensible idea.
