Andrew and all
sorry about jeopardy quoting. I'm leaving the below in for context
This is the ideal situation for a "microformat", an emerging and
exciting way of adding richer semantics to HTML within the existing
standard
http://developers.technorati.com/wiki/MicroFormats
The hCard (based on the IETF vCard format) may well suit your purposes.
Based on my experience at South by Southwest, and the recent WWW2005
where I was involved in the Microformats Developer Day, I believe
this is going to be significant.
Tantek �elik, formerly at Microsoft (IE5 for Mac), now at Technorati,
is one of the drivers of microformats, along with Eric Meyer. Both
will be speaking at Web Essentials later in the year, and I've little
doubt Microformats will be on the agenda there.

I think that one would have to qualify as improper use of a <dl>.
The method I use to decide on the appropriate use of <dl> is to say
'equals' in between the <dt> and each <dd>.
Now let's apply that to your use:
'Canada equals In The Game, Inc' ...no it doesn't
'Canada equals Customer Service' ...no it doesn't
'Canada equals ON' ...ummm, the other way around, perhaps.
and so on.
