To clarify, when people use a definition list for something other than
actual definitions and terms, they usually use the dt's and dd's to
represent the relationship of the items within
A dl is a LIST of definition terms and their description.
dt is a definition term to be described (not title).
dd is description of the definition term.

But I have just come across a piece of code that uses multiple dt's
in the one dl

Semantically, isn't the whole point of a dl to use definition data tags
(dd's) to describe a definition title (dt)!? Does it make sense to have
