Is it semantically correct to nest definition lists, or should they simply be a ‘flat list of name/value pairs’.
The specs don’t seem to forbid it.

Well the spec seems to allow it, provided that only the
<dd>contains nested lists. The spec states that a<dt>is an inline element, so it can’t contain a nested list. A<dd>is a block element, so an inner list inside one of these is fine.
