Comment:
&quot;Within a single dl element, there should not be more than one dt element for
each name&quot; - intention of this requirement is unclear; is this a
machine-checkable requirement, or a requirement on semantics?  What will be
used to compare &quot;name&quot;s, textContent, innerHTML, or anything else?

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: It&apos;s a SHOULD because of this vagueness. :-) I think in most cases it&apos;s clear if this is being followed or not. It&apos;s not easily machine-checkable.</thetext>
