Hi. MDN on <dl> has a link to the article (written in Sep 2020) reporting that iOS's screen reader (VoiceOver) fails to recognize <dl> elements; it reads it as plain text via the read-all command (it does recognize <dl> when nagivating with the virtual cursor, though): https://adrianroselli.com/2020/09/voiceover-on-ios-14-supports-description-lists.html

For accessibility, therefore, I think we should avoid using <dl> until iOS fixes this issue. What do you think?
