Russ, et al,
Sure, the W3 spec suggests DLs to be used for conversations and other non-DL purposes, and we've seen some great examples out there, but the reality is that (last time I researched), DL's are still announced by screen readers as "a definition list of N items", which would *really* confuse me in the context of an interview being read to me by a screen reader.
True, perhaps the screen reader shouldn't announce it as such (given the W3 specs) but the reality is that it has to announce *something*, and it certainly won't be "an interview with N questions".
Again, I know the W3 spec suggests it, but it's poor semantics at best *if the web page author cares much about those using assistive devices like screen readers*.
End of the day, it's up to the author to decide on what's best for the audience perhaps?
