Given the microdata solution and this example, there is now a reason other than styling to 
introduce <di>, since here you duplicate the <dt> information in <meta>.

  <dl>
   <di item="com.damowmow.cat">
    <dt property="com.damowmow.name">Schr&ouml;dinger
    <dd>
     <meta property="com.damowmow.age" content="9">
     <p property="com.damowmow.desc">Orange male.
   </di>
   ...
