This is typically rendered as normal text, indented.

Most browsers assume that the contents of the element

ends when it encounters a <DT> or

another <DD> or the </DL>

element to end the list, and thus do not require the

ending tag.

The LANG and DIR attributes are introduced with the

internationalization proposal.

All list elements are Level 0.
