But inside a new element, such as <dialog>, legacy (aka current) user agents will make the first element after </dialog> in the following example a child of the preceding <dd>:     <dialog><dt>Name<dd>Word</dialog> <p>Paragraph. Same goes for the following example, except that it becomes a child of the unclosed <p> <dialog><dt>Name<dd>Word <p>Paragraph.</dialog> <span>span</span> (2) Bug 7508: There is no reason to have different rules for where <dt> is permitted when used inside <dialog> and when used inside <dl>. (3) HIstory: HTML 4 reccommeds dialogs inside <dl> (4) Future: As HTML developes, one might want to use <dl> for other types of lists as well - an attribute solution sets a precedence for such extensions. 27120 1 ian 2009-09-13 11:31:27 +0000 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Sep/thread.html#msg395 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Sep/thread.html#msg360 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Sep/thread.html#msg41 27174 2 ian 2009-09-15 11:05:32 +0000 I nuked <dialog> altogether, per bug 7548. 33398 3 mjs 2010-03-14 14:50:43 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
