There **can't** be. Murray, DanC and I can confirm the current HTML 4 model of DL/DT/DD was explicitely designed so you can have multiple DTs for one DD, multiple DDs for one DT, multiple DDs for multiple DTs. The only way to achieve that in a usable and rather simple way was the current model. <!ELEMENT DL - - (DT|DD)+ -- definition list --> What you want would have implied to put DD* in the model of DT, the creation of a DTGROUP element to handle DT+ and DD*, exclusion of DD in DTs of a DTGROUP, and so on. And that exclusion is not even easy to express in SGML. Totally overkill... </Daniel>
