Here's the page http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/deflists.html
I've already come up with a nice idea. Use the expanding javascript to hide the dt and dd and leave the lh visible. When someone clicks on the lh, the others appear. This could remove extra divs and headers by making the lists self-contained. I'm sure it was deprecated. It seems to good to be true.

Hi Ted, can you give me the URL where you found that? As far as I can tell from the HTML 4.01 DTD (i'm happy to me corrected) the <dl> element must contain 1 or mor <dt> or<dd> elements, and can't contain any other elements (although the <dt> can have inline elements and <dd> can have block and inline elements). I can't find any reference to a <lh> element in the current specs.
