Nah... I think the definition list makes more semantic sense. It is a
list after all.
The only thing I feel uncomfortable about DL's is the lack of a strong
relationship between DT's and DD's (no containing parent element for
each unique pair).
I'll play the devils advocate and suggest the following:
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Question</h2>
<p>Answer goes below heading</p>
</li>
</ul>

I would use either use just a definition list or an unordered list with
a nested definition list. Therefor, it is a list of questions with the
answers being the questions definition. That's how it makes sense to me!
:) Example:
<ul>
<li><dl><dt>What's the deal with this website?</dt>
<dd>Well, the deal with this website is this. This is
the deal with this website.</dd>
</dl></li>
<li><dl><dt>What do I do with this website?</dt>
<dd>Here is what you do with this website. This is
what you do with this website.</dd>
</dl></li>
</ul>
I wrote this without researching semanticity (is that a word?) first. I
may be wrong...
Hope it helps!
