That's a CSS issue rather than anything to do with markdown or the markup it generates.

This.

Markdown (or other markup languages, lightweight or otherwise) in general specify semantic document structure.

The presentation or layout are defined by the style and/or stylesheet --- CSS in the case of markdown.

That said, the definition list is intended to be something of a header/content block, as defined by the W3C.
