It looks as though "they" were trying to achieve a 2-level indent, using
tags which were not really meant for that purpose. Even so, they should
have included the <DD>s... ;)
I think the nicest way to handle it would be to assume the text is preceded
by a <DD>:
<DL>
<DD>This is test1
<DL>
<DD>This is test2
</DL>
</DL>
The author was most likely trying to achieve the following effect:
Lorem ipsum dolor amet
ipsum amet lorem
This is test1
This is test2
Lorem ipsum dolor amet
ipsum amet lorum
