email comment from jennifer sutton: 


Since HTML5 is still in development, it's sometimes hard (for me, anyway) to
know where to look.

I'm referring to 4.5.8 in the spec.

I was trying to catch up on the use of DL since it's changed in HTML5.  So, I
read this:

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/grouping-content.html#the-dl-element


Even though its usage has changed, the use case I was looking at is still using
it incorrectly, so I'm confident, there.

What I found confusing is that the spec. says that DL should not be used for
dialog.
At the same time, it says it can be used for questions and answers. Doesn't
dialog typically consist of questions and answers?

I don't think I'm the only one who's still a bit confused.

You probably saw this post on HTML5 Doctor, when it first went up in 2010, but
boy have there been a lot of comments on it, and they're still going. You may
not have seen them.
