Originally <dl> was for glossaries, and there multiple <dd>s are obviously alternative definitions of the same term. But then the "definition" semantics of <dl> was relaxed, but nothing is said about the alternativeness of multiple <dd>s. I think it should be made clear in HTML5 that multiple <dd>s (and <dt>s for that matter) are alternatives and not accumulative. Otherwise people might use "<dd>...<dd>..." instead of "<dd><p>...<p>..." when they wanted to represent accumulative paragraphs of one description and not several alternative descriptions. -- Simon Pieters
