This is not a well-formed XML (read: this is not XML). In
XML, all tags have to be closed (or empty, which is
a special case of closed). So the structure actually is
<DL>
<DT>some text
<A HREF=some url>some name</A>
<DT>some text
<DL>
<A HREF=another url>another name</A>
<DT>some text
</DL>
^^^^^ Wrong, trying to close <DL>, but
<DT> is the currently open tag.
