<DL ...> is useful for all sorts of lists. Any situation where you want to say "this is a thing, this is stuff about the thing" is a good time to think about using a definition list. For example, a definition list can be used for a performance script:

produces this |
<DL>

<DT>Dawn
<DD>Let's play some music
<DT>Jason

</DL>
