Re: Name / value list - best ARIA roles to use?

<dl> represents a “description list”, so it would fit your case. No ARIA needed.

"The dl<https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-dl-element> element represents<https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#represents> an association list consisting of zero or more name-value groups (a description list)."

Having a list of name / value couples to display, e.g.

Name - John Doe
Birthdate - May 5th, 1966
Nationality - U.S.
email - john.doe@email.com<mailto:john.doe@email.com>
...

I was wondering which elements or roles are most suited to display it. Initially I thought about <dl>, but it doesn't seem right to me, as I'm not defining terms here; I also don't think that the "term" role for names and "definition" role for values are good either.

Any suggestions?
