Thanks Dr Young. I will read more closely next time. That was an aside
anyway - I had not even begun to investigate DLs, since I was not sure
whether that was the right path to take at all, and there seems to be little
agreement among the "important voices" on the DL element - the W3 Spec being
interpretable in various ways apparently (cf comments on simplebits[1]).
Anyway, I should have stated my question more simply: What is most correct
for presenting key-value attributes for one or more more-or-less discrete
items? E.g.:
Item A
Attrib1 = Value
Attrib2 = Value
Attrib3 = Value
Item B
Attrib1 = Value
Attrib2 = Value
Attrib3 = Value
(Indentation here just to show hierarchy). Having read _some_ of the
literature, I am tending to think that a definition list is really ideal for
this, but I wonder if others have differing opinions? The world of semantic
markup is still new to me!
FWIW, I made a revision of my original example to show my current solution:
