Great, thanks. Now fixed. My intent was to use <div> and <span>
for styling ddoc elements to the extent possible, in order to
make styling as flexible as possible.
Although bordering on nitpicking, I'll mention that this is not a
good change. It is recommended to use the appropriate HTML
elements for their semantic meaning. <dl> is a definition list,
which nicely fits documenting a list of entities. HTML5 even
introduced additional HTML tags, such as <nav>. Styling is not a
problem, since you can use CSS to remove the default styles from
practically any layout tag, making it behave like <span> or <div>.
If it's not too much effort, I'd revert this change, however this
is more of a question of principle than practicality.
