I think <dt> and <dd> are minging. But I agree with Jeremy; the aesthetics  
aren't important. In their huge favour: we  don't bake a new element, they  
work so I can use details this decade (I care less about figure  
personally). I also believe that dd/ dt have such a history of being  
abused that no-one thinks they mean anything any way.
