Sorry if the question wasn't clear. Unfortunately, it is more of a "make it pretty" problem rather than a functional problem, and I'm not expressing it well.

I wanted to document the web page the way I wanted it, rather than what was natural to pod, I suppose. I wanted a bulleted list. Starting with 
=over

=item Neque

=item Porro

=item Quisquam Est

Qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci
velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut
labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

=item Ut Enim

=back

renders as 
<dl><dt><strong><a name="neque" class="item">Neque</a></strong></dt>

<dt><strong><a name="porro" class="item">Porro</a></strong></dt>

<dt><strong><a name="quisquam_est" class="item">Quisquam Est</a></stro
+ng></dt>

<dd>
<p>Qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci
velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut
labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="ut_enim" class="item">Ut Enim</a></strong></dt>

</dl>

That is fine (although perhaps it would be nice without the bolding) but I really don't like the blank line between Quisquam Est and Qui dolorem. I really don't want a paragraph marker in the dd container.

But really, this is unimportant. I'll just rewrite it another way.
