A definition list (<def-list>) may start with a <title> that names the entire list, followed by optional column headings for terms and their definitions. (The <term-head> contains the heading over the first (term) column; the <def-head> contains the heading for the second (definition) column. Neither heading contains terms or definitions.) Individual <term> elements and their <def>s are paired inside a <def-item> element.
