"Either:Zero or more groups each consisting of one or more dt
<https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#elementdef-dt> elements
followed by one or more dd
<https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#elementdef-dd>elements,
optionally intermixed with script-supporting elements
<https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#script-supporting-elements-2>.
Or: One or more div
<https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#elementdef-div> elements,
optionally intermixed with script-supporting elements."

https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dl-element

However, Deque's Attest Chrome browser extension calls out an error: "<dl>
elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups,
<script> or <template> elements"

These seem to contradict one another. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I'd recommend you file an aXe core issue for this
https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core/issues
(if you have GitHub account just log in, the text fields do not have
labels so creating your first issue is a little bit of a hassle if you
are a screen reader user but it's not too bad).
You can also verify that this is valid HtML by writing an example and
validate it with Nu:
https://validator.w3.org/nu
(from the "check by" dropdown select the "text input" option, then you
can paste the HtML into the input field. Note, after pressing the
"validate" button you have to look for the results, they are not
clearly marked with a heading or landmark.
