I'm actually doing that right now.  I agree that it's a little bit of a 
stretch, but I think a case can be made for it. The question in how to 
identify the speaker in the <dd>  And I'm leaning toward span for the same 
reason.

My code looks something like:

<dl class="qanda">
  <dt>Question?</dt>
  <dd>
    <p><span>Person 1:</span>answer</p>
    <p><span>Person 2:</span>answer</p>
  </dd>
</dl>

That only works for the Q: and A:, but not the Kirsten and Neal that started 
the problem in the first place.
