this is the opposite you should do.

Let's say that you have an image which is *really* part of a  
definition list then

dl
   dt (image)        <- dt = Definition term        as in the term to  
be defined.
   dd (description)  <- dd = Definition description as in the  
explanation of the term.
/dl

For example, in a school a list of animal images with their definitions
	image of a fox with the appropriate alt
	and then the fox description.

> /dl


This doesn't exist. dt must be always before dd. You can't do that. A  
parser would not be able to  associate the three dd to the dt. Plus  
the fact that it is an abuse of dl/dt/dd.

The appropriate thing to do is:

dl
   dt  Term 1 with 2 definitions
   dd
   dd

   dt  Term 2 with 1 definition
   dd

   dt  Term 3 with 3 definitions
   dd
   dd
   dd
/dl

It /is/ ordered. Elements of an (XML) tree are ordered (it is one of  
the differences with graphs.)
