Sorry Czeslaw, I disagree entirely with this. Definition lists are entirely
appropriate for any name/value set and are quite different to other (ordered
and unordered) lists. A div is far less semantically appropriate IMHO.
A better approach may be:
<h2>News</h2>
<dl id="news"><!-- id only needed if you need to style this differently to
other DLs -->
<dt>Article 1 name</dt>
<dd><em>date</em></dd>
<dd>
<p>article 1 content</p>
<p>article 1 content</p>
</dd>
</dl>
Then you will have granular control over the style of the decendants of the
#news DL element so you could style (for example) the p element to have no
top-margin and sit up under the date.
