dude, you're always pushing the envelope, eh?

the following will validate

   <ol>
   <li><dl><dt>foo</dt><dd>bar</dd></dl></li>
   <li><dl><dt>foo</dt><dd>bar</dd></dl></li>
   <li><dl><dt>foo</dt><dd>bar</dd></dl></li>
   </ol>

and can be made to look somewhat okay with

  dl {  margin-top:-1em; }


i'm surprised at myself, for even suggesting a hack like a negative margin

maybe today's the day for hacks, though -- i thought the /*/*/ netscape
hack on mark pilgrim's site was really rather inventive, or perhaps it was
just the way he explained it (o got dizzy after the third level of logical
nesting, actually)
