I tried using the Find/Replace Element function, but it was

The general problem is that the Find/Replace ELement function does not
permit me to create an invalid document
Yes, that's the whole point of the Find/Replace Element function. In
some cases, may be you'll find more convenient to use Find/Replace
(xml source code) in the "XML source" view.
Indeed.
… Hence I am not allowed to Find all <dl> and replace them with (text)
- that is: with nothing. (Because then <dt> and <dd> would become
children of <li>.)
But for some reason, I am allowed (if I use the Convert element
function of the Edit menu) to do the same thing. Except that in that
case, what happens is that both <dl>, <dt> and <dd> get removed PLUS
that the text of <dd> is retained,
Yes.
whereas the text of <dt> is deleted.
No. I don't get this. In my test, see screenshots (before.png and
after.png), the the text of <dt> is retained too.
You are right. I made a fresh test and it indee works like that. (When I
reported the error, I had a slightly complicated document, and probably
got confused by the result, sorry.)
