Just use well structured markup that reflects the structure of the
content. I have seen arguments pro and con about using definition lists
to mark up conversations. This use of definition lists is used as an
example on the W3 site, but is discouraged by some standards purists.
From an accessibility standpoint it does not seem to make much
difference with a screen reader because to my knowledge none of the
readers provide any special navigational support for definition lists.
