Right, I don't see a unique hierarchy for the first DT, I see the first two DTs acting together as one complex DT, just as the two DDs form a single complex DD.

Paul- "I think your initial DT element is widowed and needs at least one DD before the next DT because it functions as the title for the entire subsequent structure. This looks like two-level nesting to me, and I'd tend to mark it up like this:" kvn- I think you hit the nail on the head, i knew that there a better way to relate the top term with the subsequent content, i even though about using an h for a second. in this structure from the w3c i dont think theres any hierarhcy for the first dt?

Email: Send Email.. The definition term is Accord Inishowen and its corresponding definition is the contact block. The contact block consists of two terms: Contact Name with its one definition and Contact Information with its four definitions. As I read them, neither the W3C HTML 4.01 spec [see link in footnote 1 below] nor the XHTML-Strict DTD [footnote 2 below] dictates that at least one DD must follow a DT, nor that two consecutive DTs must be alternates to one another. I'm making assumptions based on their examples. In their examples, the DT element is repeated when there are variant spellings of the definition term, which metaphorically I interpret as meaning "when there are variant forms of the object." Here's their example: Center Centre A point equidistant from all points on the surface of a sphere. In some field sports, the player who holds the middle position on the field, court, or forward line. Two definition terms providing variant forms of the object, and two definition descriptions giving variant definitions of the object. Considering the W3C's examples and the semantic sense of your contact info structure, I'd argue for a two-level nested list.

Re: [WSG] semantic help needed
Either that way or with a table. I'd go with that way.There was a discussion about this exactly same topic not so long ago on the list.I'd try to find it, was alot of good opinions and suggestions as to what would be the most semantically way to do it.
