In fact, HTML 4.01 is being very fuzzy on the definition for dl/dt/dd
Definition lists vary only slightly from other types
of lists in that list items consist of two parts: a
term and a description. The term is given by the DT
element and is restricted to inline content. The
description is given with a DD element that contains
block-level content.
but the HTML 4.01 example gives an argument for Aurélien. The example
given by Aurélien is HTML 4.01 conformant. It doesn't mean it is wise
or not misleading, but it is correct in HTML 4.01.
Here is an example with multiple terms and descriptions:
<DL>
<DT>Center
<DT>Centre
<DD> A point equidistant from all points
on the surface of a sphere.
<DD> In some field sports, the player who
holds the middle position on the field, court,
or forward line.
