If we are to follow the W3C example of using DLs to mark up dialogues, there's not much wrong with using a definition list for comments. Infact, it seems a very appropriate use of the element.
However, your use of an unordered list with blockqoutes is very interesting too. I guess this is a matter of personal preference rather than what is correct or not.
