wp_list_categories lacks the vital options of wp_get_archives

To achieve

Archives: 2004 (2); 2003 (1); Categories: Elections (1); Iraq (1);

One needs

<p>Archives:<?php wp_get_archives('format=custom&show_post_count=1&type=yearly&after=;'); ?>
Categories:<?php echo str_replace('<br />',';', wp_list_categories('style=&show_count=1&echo=0'));?></p>

As you see, wp_list_categories lacks the vital options of
wp_get_archives, forcing us to resort to str_replace.

Note: I am talking about HTML and do not wish to talk about CSS.

Looks like this will not make it for 2.8 in feature freeze
