No, it isn't.

We've thought about this, since it is also needed for the <DL> list:

   ITEM.  Description more des-
      cription description.
   ITEM.  Description more des-
      cription description.

However, we decided to limit ourselves to `block' and `inline' (and
now `canvas') in level 1. One way of adding it later would be to allow
a sort of `half-block', one that has a line break before, but not
after (and the other way round):

  DL { margin-left: 6em}
  DT { flow: break-before; indent: -3em }
  DD { flow: break-after }
