I think the main point of Tantek's presentation is that it is good to
add semantics to your markup, and this is what the OP is trying to do by
using a definition list for his dialogue.
However, Tantek shows us how to add *more* semantics without using a dl.
Its not that the dl is inappropriate, hey, the W3C used it as a
secondary example for DL usage, its just that there are better ways.[1]
(and I think James was trying to make a joke :))

[1] I really hate Tantek - he's so clever and thinks of so many things
to which II go 'Doh! I should have thought of that!' ;)
