I wouldn't use a definition list, either.  However, the HTML 5.1
specification states[1]:

| Term-description groups may be names and definitions, questions and
| answers, categories and topics, or any other groups of
| term-description pairs.

This suggest a rather loose interpretation, and as such the example
above may not be considered abuse.
