how about using the blockquote "cite" attribute?

They mention using cite for a url (or email link) and title for the
details.
seems to be compliant to me...

Subject: [WSG] Definition lists for testimonials
Hi, I need to mark up a list of client testimonials. At first I was
going to do it with a UL but then I thought about the multi-part
nature of each 'item' (Client's quote, client's name, client's
company) and figured that a definition list might be a better
option.
My only reservation about that is the fact that by using the
established structure:
<dl>
<dt> client's quote </dt>
<dd> client's name </dd>
<dd> client's company </dd>
</dl>
I think you're missing an important element: blockquote
but then it won't be allowed in a DT
Hi, just returning to this issue. Thierry, I had actually com to the
same blockquote conclusion, and my solution last week to a list of
testimonials was this:
div#testimonials
ul
li
blockquote
p
p.clientName
p.clientCompany
/blockquote
/li
li
blockquote
p
p.clientName
p.clientCompany
/blockquote
/li
/ul
/div
(that's simplified, obviously).
I'm going back over my markup to see if I can streamline it, and I'm
wondering if the ul/li structure is needed. On the one hand it *is*
semantically a list -- it's a list of testimonials after all. On the
other hand a series of blockquotes wrapped in a div is much neater
and less busy.
My question to the panel is: do you think that the unordered list
markup is required semantically?
Cheers;
