 * No wonder I couldn’t find your plugin. 
   The element you are using is a Definition
   List. I’ve never heard it referred to as a Description List until I found your
   extension (Definition List, Definition Term, Definition (Data; Details; other
   D-words semantically befitting a definition)). I get it. Mozilla calls it a Description
   List. Where did that come from? SMH.I’m suspect you’ll find more users if you
   use the common name.Historically, it is identified as a Definition list. (e.g.
   check the HTML3 spec, avail at w3 dot org)In any case, your plugin is really 
   nice. Much better than the “other” one i was using. You got it right. Simple,
   easy, etc. Now I won’t have to suffer all of that broken HTML, block recovery,
   etc. Thank you!UPDATE: one star. it breaks WordPress (basically).
