Jonathan Marsh writes about the DT/DD problem (he uses term/definition)

This falls under the heading of addressing issues in the action part.
I've made one straw-person proposal to extend the 'select' element
type which would solve at least simple examples of this problem:

<rule>
 <target-element type='term'/>
 <paragraph start-indent='3pt' first-line-start-indent='-3pt'>
  <children/>
  <literal> </literal>
  <select from='right-siblings'>
   <target-element type='definition' position='first-of-type' mode='yes'/>
  </select>
 </paragraph>
</rule>

<rule mode='yes'>
 <target-element type='definition'/>
 <children/>
</rule>

<rule>
 <target-element type='definition'/>
 <empty/>
</rule>
