I am not a semanticist, so I cannot correct you. Probably you are right. Zoe M.

And my attempt which was snipped for no obvious reason was a CSS answer. I see a relationship between a new proposal how to style a volume control and the question what would be the appropriate markup for it to put the styles on: Since I am not a designer, markup is a question I have to solve until I can apply style, because /I do not know/ how to solve for Scott's problem, the question was new to me. What would be your answer, to help Scott? For the markup, I decided to go for a definition list, and my question > What would be the semantically correct representation of a volume > control, a definition list? could be read as a moment of uncertainty. Others who show some uncertainty about their results do get answers and comments on this list regularly, sometimes by me.
