display menu with out list tags

Question

Is there a way I can display a menu in my theme that isn't formatted in a list? i just want to display the <a> tags without the <li> tags.

is this possible?

theme file:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'navigation' ) ); ?>

functions.php:

function register_my_menus() {
    register_nav_menus(array('navigation' => __( 'Main Nav' )));
}

add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );

Edit: see my answer below, found on Stack Overflow

Answer 1

It looks like what i'll need to do is look at a customized menu walker, as suggested at this thread over on Stack Overflow:

From there, looking at suggestions I found:
