I did not mean to ask whether it is "possible" to call a list of one item a list. More a question of "why would you call it a list" and in HTML terms, why use the extra element. If we take this further, we might as well make every section in a html document (heading and paragraphs below it) a definition list and forget about headings and paragraphs. In fact, why not just make everything a div, span or object, so it all becomes very generic.

Sure, it's personal preference, just like using tables nested n levels deep, often replacing a single paragraph with a complex table (no, I don't advocate that either). I'm sure we've all seen examples of this (ab)use of tables. Are definition lists in danger of replacing tables for layout?
