Currently the html:dt and html:dd return an HTMLSpanElement object. They should
return HTMLElement instead.
After further investigation it seems that having HTMLSpanElement in general is a
bug. There is no such interface defined to be implemented on certain objects.
Who said anything about an interface?  This is the concrete object class.  I
suspect this bug is simply invalid.
OK, I vote for invalid again.  Dissenters, please speak up!  ;)

This will probably be valid in due course. We want the [[Class]] of each JS object to be defined in an interoperable way. However, it's not clear what it'll be yet.
