yes, it is appropriate for a list of articles (but again, not the article itself)... I think we're in agreement on that.

While we can argue that the date, author and article name may well be a list of meta-data for a news article the content is not... the article is the data. I think the concept of a news article is a well established one that doesn't need to be abstracted to such degree in markup. It's unneccessarily pedantic IMHO.


For the full article, I agree. But what about a sidebar that shows excerpts from several news articles, along with their title, date, and a link to the full article? Wouldn't that be an appropriate use of a definition list?
