Rails - May 2006 - UL/LI List helpers, or not?

Hello,

I have a (bad) habit of abstracting nearly all my code. The DRY idea 
helps a lot.

What I want is a simple helper to build UL LI lists:
  def unordered_list_tag(items => [], options => {})
    if :items.count > 0
      render :partial => ''application/unordered_list'',
:locals => {
items => :items, options => :options }
    end
  end

And a simple general _unordered_list.rhtml, with a loop and some HTML to 
handle the view level.

Now the questions:
 Is this a common RoR Way Of Doing Things? I see very little refercen to 
such helpers.
 Should I store the ''applicationwide'' partials in
views/application, or
is there a better place?
 Is there some wiki or so where we can all share such small (yet 
usefull) helpers?
