As I understand it, the main reason for rejecting <di> was that it

Yes, my most common problem with <dl>s is styling them, but it's
hardly CSS's fault. What kind of styling am I attempting to do?
Mostly, to arrange them in columns.

Simply put: just because the parsing algorithm is well-defined and we
can imply association sans-container, that doesn't mean authors (like
myself) won't want finer-grained control over grouping.
Seems to me no need to add a new element. If <div> could be a child of
<dl> then you could use that.
However, it can't. I don't know why, though.
