--- Comment #1 from Mark Sadecki <mark@w3.org> ---
I believe the key to differentiating what is appropriate or not in this case is
the following statement:

> "Within a single dl element, there should not be more than one dt element for each name."

I believe a Q&A such as one found in an FAQ would be appropriate use of a <dl>
because you would not have the same question (`<dt>`) twice.

In the case of a dialog, there is a high probability that any given speaker,
signified by a `<dt>`, would be used multiple times.  Also, why a dialog might
consist of questions and answers, not all dialogs do.
