I am on the fence on whether to sue a <ul> or <dl> in a few situations.
For example:
Codification of PMA Expanding E-Government Initiatives
* Codifies OMB’s role: E-Gov Administrator and Office of
E-Government
* Endorses and requires agencies to support initiatives (cross
agency initiatives such as E-Rulemaking, Geospatial One-Stop, E-Records
Management, E-Authentication(esp. E-signatures) and Disaster
Management; FirstGov; enterprise architecture)
* Authorizes E-Gov fund beyond President’s $100 M target
Would this be appropriate?:
<dl>
<dt>Codification of PMA Expanding E-Government Initiatives</dt>
<dd>Codifies OMB’s role: E-Gov Administrator and Office of
E-Government</dd>
<dd> Endorses and requires agencies to support initiatives (cross
agency initiatives such as E-Rulemaking, Geospatial One-Stop, E-Records
Management, E-Authentication (esp. E-signatures) and Disaster
Management; FirstGov; enterprise architecture)</dd>
<dd> Authorizes E-Gov fund beyond President’s $100 M target</dd>
</dl>
How about this similar list?:
New OMB Requirements
* Annual report to Congress
* Sponsor ongoing dialogue with state, local, and tribal
governments, as well as the general public, the private, and the
non-profit sectors to find innovative ways toimprove the performance of
governments in collaborating on the use of information technology to
improve the delivery of Government information and services
* Standards for categorizing and indexing government information
* Standards for agency web sites
* Create a public directory for agency web sites
* Select agencies to engage in pilot projects on data integration
* Access improvement for people with and without computers
Would the example(s) above be best served by using <dl> instead of <ul>
or another method I am not aware of? I think it would be appropriate,
but I want others opinions. I have done some quick research, and found
some info here:

Still on the fence, can someone clear this up?
