Need not be a div.

I don't believe that FAQs should be limited to dl sets; they could
easily use other elements. To give one example:

   <div class="faqset>
        <h3 class="question">
                Who's the most handsome member of this list?
        </h3>

        <p class="answer">Why, Andy Mabbett, of course!</p>
   </div>

and here's an example of that in the wild, which, er, you might
recognise...
