I think those both do not solve the problem. How do I give a
definition list a header?
I understand your desire to be completely explicit in terms of assigning
a header to a list, I'd say that (X)HTML is just not that explicit a
language in that respect, and that *source order* is used to infer a lot
of this type of assignment. Think, for instance, about a normal page
structure like
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>first paragraph</p>
<h2>Sub heading</h2>
<p>second paragraph</p>
Now, in HTML, there is no *explicit* hook in the markup that
unequivocally says that the h1 applies to all that comes below it, that
the headings for the second paragraph are both the h2 and the h1, etc.
It all comes from the actual document structure.
