However, what it says means a <dl> itself is unable to tell whether its contents are unordered or ordered, and we have to judge that by ourselves. Comparing to <ul> and <ol> which themselves are able to tell whether their contents are unordered and ordered, the <dl> itself being unable to do that is, imho, disappointing. Sincerely, Ian Yang
