Do you mean in a semantic way here, or merely a presentational way?

I prepared a little test page with a definition list and an unordered list
containing the same content and same styling, with a stylesheet switcher at:
www.collind.com/list_test.htm

I think with CSS off, they both convey a reasonable sense of grouping.  The
only real difference is the indentation (block level) with the dl.

I'm desperately trying to figure this out - maybe there's no pat answer, but
I'm hoping in the discussion that things might become clearer to me.
