Best way I found of styling a definition list as name value pairs and allowing either dt or dl to span multiple rows. http://www.css-101.org/articles/glossary-and-table-format/definition-list.php

dl-dt-with-multiple-dd-style.css

dl.job-info{
    width:100%;
    overflow:hidden;
}

dl.job-info dt {
    font-weight:600;
    float:left;
    width:49%;
    clear:both;
    padding:0;
    padding-bottom:3px;
    position:relative;
}

dl.job-info dd {
    float:right;
    width:51%;
    padding:0;
    padding-bottom:3px;
    margin-left:0;
}

dl.job-info dd {
    *float:none;
    *width:auto;
    *margin-left:49%;
}

dl-markup.html

<dl>
  <dt>Name 1</dt>
  <dd>Definition 1</dd>
  <dt>A really long name spanning several rows</dt>
  <dd>Definition 2</dd>
  <dt>Name 3</dt>
  <dd>Definition 3</dd>
  <dt>Name 4</dt>
  <dd>A really long definition spanning several rows</dd>
  <dt>Name 5</dt>
  <dd>Definition 5</dd>
  <dt>Name 6</dt>
  <dd>Definition 6</dd>
  <dt>Name 7</dt>
  <dd>Definition 7</dd>
</dl>

dl-single-dd-style.css

dl{
  letter-spacing:-0.31em;
  *letter-spacing:normal;
  word-spacing:-0.43em;
}

dl dt,
dl dd {
  display:inline-block;
  *display:inline;
  zoom:1;
  letter-spacing:normal;
  word-spacing:normal;
  vertical-align:top;
  margin:0;
}

dl dt{
  font-weight:600;
  width:48%;
  padding: 0 2% 0.5em 0;
}

dl dd{
  margin-right:-1px;
  width:50%;
  padding: 0 0 0.5em 0;
}
