Sailesh, To clarify; so <dl>, <dt> and <dd> are not presently accessibility-supported by JAWS or NVDA? Dare I even ask about VoiceOver? If so, then the only types of lists with accessibility support in HTML at this time are Ordered and Unordered? 6 years after publication of WCAG 2.0? I'm not trying to rub it in, but it has to be said: Ouch. Perhaps screen-readers should prefix: "Label" before <dt> content and "list item" or "content" before the <dd>. The model needs to be as generic as possible, or so it seems to me… Duff.
