Re: Forms as lists

It's pretty clear that a form has to be in a fieldset, strictly speaking.
If the list is intended to replace the fieldset then we have non-compliance.
However, if the list is placed inside the fieldset, then we do not
necessarily have non-compliance. It is inadvisable because of the excess
noise issue.
In the case of a list of multiple choice questions, how would you all react
to placing the questions in a definition list, where the question is in a dt
and the answer set in a dd. That might be a case where a list helps inside a
form?
