I'd agree it is "rare" to see more than one DT but not to see multiple DDs.


Come on, you guys, revisit the spec:
_______________________

W3C HTML 4.01 Specification
10 Lists
10.3 Definition lists: the DL, DT, and DD elements
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/lists.html#h-10.3

<!-- definition lists - DT for term, DD for its definition -->
...
Here is an example with multiple terms and descriptions:

<DL>
   <DT>Center
   <DT>Centre
   <DD> A point equidistant from all points
              on the surface of a sphere.
   <DD> In some field sports, the player who
              holds the middle position on the field, court,
              or forward line.
</DL>

It's clear that multiple terms and multiple definitions are part of the spec. It's all about a structure designed to describe multifaceted objects in linguistic space. It's made for describing things in the real world of human endeavor. It's simplistic because it's only got two types of facet, but it's not limited in the number of each it can support.
