In this case it seems to me that the <p><time> combination is itself a header for the dt/dd pair that follows, but the <p> markup doesn't convey that. Some sort of specialized markup might be preferable here. I don't know how much demand for it there would be, though. (Less, I think, than for the ability to mark up an action in the middle of dialogue.) If the time doesn't have to be a separate block- level element, it could be marked up simply as

<dialog>
        <dt>caker (<time>21:57</time>)</dt>
        <dd>sweet</dd>
