May be a better syntax would be:

dt::before

or even

dt::outside {
   /* specify that the ::before or ::outside would group the DT and
    * some elements after, in some way (using some syntax) */
}

I'm still maiking myself familiar with the spec and I'm not sure if 
this approach is even "interesting"... ?
