I'm curious, Joseph, wouldn't that be better like this?
<h2>Our News</h2>
<dl>
<dt>2006-12-09</dt>
<dd>
<h3>News Headline</h3>
<p>Teaser statement for the article.</p>
<p>Link to Full Story</p>
</dd>
</dl>
Assuming of course this would be valid as it would be with any other kind of
list (I didn't check).
Respectfully,
Mike Cherim

Subject: Re: [WSG] Semantics of news
I myself have been marking up new summaries with definition lists. Very
practical.
<dl>
<dt>My Article Headline</dt>
<dd>2006-12-09</dd>
<dd>Teaser statement for the article</dd>
<dd>Link to Full Story</dd>
</dl>
You can alter this format as well, like:
<dl>
<dt>2006-12-09</dt>
<dt>Headline for my Article</dt>
<dd>Teaser statement for the article</dd>
<dd>Link to Full Story</dd>
</dl>
Headings would be used to precede to news summaries all together, like:
<h3>My Site's latest Articles</h3>
<dl>
<dt>My Article Headline</dt>
<dd>2006-12-09</dd>
<dd>Teaser statement for the article</dd>
<dd>Link to Full Story</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>My Article Headline</dt>
<dd>2006-12-09</dd>
<dd>Teaser statement for the article</dd>
<dd>Link to Full Story</dd>
</dl>
etc....
