I agree

In fact here¹s something I did a long time ago:
http://www.yaa.org.au/faqs.html

And it really makes sense as well.

Subject: Re: [WSG] Markup for an FAQ?

Whenever I markup something that has a name/value pair, I tend to use a
definition list. Since we are talking about FAQs, there is no logical reason
to number them. It gets a bit more complicated when you consider having a
list of hyperlinked questions at the top of a document that references a
list of anchored answers below. Under those circumstances, it might be
correct to do something like this, substituting for an ordered list if
desired:
 
<ul>
  <li><a href="#first">First Question</a></li>
  <li><a href="#second">Second Question</a></li>
  <li><a href="#third">Third Question</a></li>
</ul>
 
<dl>
  <dt id="first">First Question</dt>
  <dd>First answer</dd>
  <dt id="second">Second Question</dt>
  <dd>Second answer</dd>
  <dt id="third">Third Question</dt>
  <dd>Third answer</dd>
</dl>
