I don't like this as it is very much at variance with what DL has
meant up till now. The tags came from an IBM DTD which shares them I
thought with eth AAP DTD. I think we should leave them be, as they
were originally designed allowing pairs of <dt> <dd> but <p> within
the <DD>. I must admit the NeXT browser can only produce a void
"term" to make a new paragraph at the moment.
