Rails spinoffs - Jan 2006 - Can <dl> be made sortable?

I was experimenting with using some interesting CSS styles with <dl>  
<dt> and <dd> elements.  But then I needed to be able to make this  
list a sortable_element in Rails, and it did not work.  I had to  
convert it all to <ul> and <li>.

Is there a reason why sorting can''t work within definition lists?  I  
searched the list archive and found the discussion on sorting in  
tables, and why that won''t work, but it didn''t seem to apply.

Sortables default to LI elements, but can be used with other elements  
too (see the "tag" option on Sortable.create on the script.aculo.us  
wiki): http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Sortable.create
