Re: [dita] Rationale for content model of definition list entry
Consider the dictionary definition of "content". With dlentry, you'd want a dd for each meaning.

I was asked about the content model for definition lists this past week.

Why does the content model for <dlentry> allow multiple instances of <dt>? I can understand multiple instances of <dd> -- a term often has multiple definitions -- but a use case for multiple (primary) terms eludes me.

FWIW, the content model for <dlhd> only permits zero or one <dthead> and zero or one <ddhd>.
