For somebody labelling themselves "Webstandard guy", your knowledge is
scarily off-base.

FWIW, I think a form can easily be construed as being a list, whether
ordered or unordered - it's a list of questions to which you have to provide
the answers - so using a UL or OL is absolutely an acceptable solution. DL
isn't for reasons that everyone should be aware of. They are also not
paragraphs, so wrapping form elements in P is also not a suitable choice.

Developers should also be aware of the way in which assistive technology
such as screenreaders interacts for forms, specifically the forms mode that
many have, where only form-related elements will be read out - this means
that paragraphs of text and headings may not be available to screenreader
users.
