This seems a clear enough win for things that would fit into a simple python dictionary.
Why is it preferred over <table> for laying out columns via a the character attributes at the bottom of TFA?

It always bugs me that the naming of the element does not seem to really fit examples like „Author: Tolkien“. It‘s not that _Tolkien“_ „defines“ the „term“ _Author_ right? The elements are still used for key-value-lists and no one seems to notice or comment on this issue.
Am I the only one?

As the article points out, HTML5 softened the name from "definition list" to "description list" to move it a bit away from thinking of it as a "dictionary" definition and somewhat better reflect how it has always been used.
