because actually i can do :

<dl>
 <dt> 1st terme </dt>
 <dd> 1st terme description </dd>
 <dd> 2nd terme description </dd>
 <dt> 2nd terme </dt>
 <dt> 3rd terme</dt>
 <dd> 3rd terme description</dd>
</dl>

with no way for AT to know that 2nd terme description is actually the 
2nd terme description and not the second description of the first terme

maybe i misunderstand the function of the embed element. Is this just a 
way to link to the plugins ? or a way to use it to show some content 
like the object element

I don't know if all UA do that but it's not the actual spec
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#edef-IFRAME
If all the UA do that, it's no enough to just say there is no need to 
author fallback, i think we need to say that this fallback content is 
given by the UA  with something like  IFRAME: "content of the src 
attribut on the iframe element"
