> Final question : why do you use description lists and not another ?

When I have a list of things I want to briefly descibe!  That's all.  It's just 
a way of formatting a list of things where there's a term (a word, a name, a 
title) that has some descriptive text.  Sometimes I use them when there's an 
obvious term/description pairing, and sometimes when I have a text-heavy list of 
things and I want to have a brief summary of each to make it easier to read.
