I admit, the relation is subtle. I can't image why else you'd want to put a div
inside dl but outside dt/dd.

The current content model is greatly based on legacy HTML.
In a XML/CSS world you don't necessarily need ul or dl elements, since CSS is
able to generate Lists all by itself.
On the other hand, you do need the exact fieldset/legend pair; else, the
relation between the two would be lost. Try your example without the div you
deem theoretically forbidden.
