However, the drawbacks mentioned in that document is about the nonexistent <di>, not the existent <li>. <li> in <dl> is rendered without problems in IE6+, FF3.6+, Chrome, and Safari. Only in Opera that definition term and the bullet aren't at the same line. Furthermore, browsers need to be compliant with the standards, not the standers need to be compliant with browsers. If the latter were true, we wouldn't have had so many new HTML5 elements to use. Sincerely, Ian Yang
