I'm still confused -- why then when I write:

<dl>
<dd>some text</dd>
<dd><dd>some text</dd></dd>
<dd><dd><dd>some text</dd></dd></dd>
</dl>

-- is the output different to:

:some text
::some text
:::some text

In the second case, it appears to be extra trailing </dl> tags that cause 
the spurious blank lines.

This is not the usage case that I encounter most often -- what I would like 
to write is:

Some text
:some text
:some text
:some text

Some text
:some text
:some text
:some text

-- and get this:

Some text
      some text
      some text
      some text

Some text
      some text
      some text
      some text

-- which works if I write:

<dl>
Some text
<dd>some text</dd>
<dd>some text</dd>
<dd>some text</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
Some text
<dd>some text</dd>
<dd>some text</dd>
<dd>some text</dd>
</dl>

Perhaps a better approach would be to introduce a completely different form 
unrelated to the syntax for definition blocks, perhaps making use of a 
leading 'minus' to indicate an indent:

Some text
- some text
- some text
-- some text

-- rendered as:

Some text
     some text
     some text
          some text

This might also be used in cases such as:

- THE first line of this paragraph is indented
