Grammatically it's a rhetorical question, but in terms of markup it is nothing more than the answer to the preceding question. To denote THAT as a <qst> would imply that we should denote ALL questions in ALL documents as <qst>, when in fact semantically, questions often appear outside the scope of a question/answer series. If <dt> weren't restricted to inline content, definition lists would be perfect for this application. Each question could be a <dt> and each answer a <dd>.
