I suppose it really depends on what is trying to be achieved. To my way of thinking, the clean <dt><dd> combination is more semantically correct. For me the <ul><li> seem to throw the semantics out a little - moreso than the <p>. Even though I can see it is a "list" of "fruit". If the <p> were in the <dt> instead of the <dd> would that improve the semantics more? (seeing the content is talking about "fruit" generically rather than specifically?) Then..... what about styling? Does the list need bullets next to it? Do all browsers support the ability to "bullet" anything? Are bullets on any item part of the W3C CSS standard (I'm asking cause I dont know it all back to front)? You can do a lot with CSS - but you can only really work with the blocks you have created. Putting the <p> in the <dt> block may mean you have to use some horrid positioning to get it where you want it (for example) OR vice versa. BUT..... maybe that is what you need to do semantically (i.e. remove the <p> altogether and position it separately). For me it always comes back to this........ "You understand the standards and known how to use them - then there is 'getting the job done'" In my case, the latter always takes precedence over the standards because, in the end, I have to get the job done and meet the requirements (in spite of standards).
