Mike,
Thats an interesting point. I always thought that any given <dt> or
<dd> should hold one piece of information only. If nesting stuff inside
them like that is completely legit that certainly opens up a lot of
possibilities.
Consider this:
<dl>
<dt><img src="house_photo.jpg" /></dt>
<dt>123 Property Address</dt>
<dd>3 Bedrooms | 1.5 Baths</dd>
<dd>$150,000</dd>
<dd>View Link</dd>
</dl>
This is how I've been marking up property lists (single list unit
shown), which is where my previous example was coming from. Your
example seems to capture the information relationship pretty well
though....hmmmm

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,

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....

The only time this wouldn't be a correct structure is if the first H3
was preceeded by an H1 and not an H2
It is slightly conterintuitive to place an H3 above an associted H2.
If the title is the most important fact, above that of date (seems
sensible). The use of H2 and H3 is fine

Hi, list.
What do you think is the best semantic markup for such a structure
----
06.12.2006(date)
Here goes some title of the new,(example "Manchester United Have Lost
Their Mojo")
{and here goes a couple of passages of text - excerpt or full text of
the news}
---
[snip]
Some popular CMS's use
h3{date}
h2{title}
<p>{content}</p>
This is usually how I do it (or at least something similar).
But i don't think it is correct heading structure
Why don't you think this is a correct structure?
