The definition lists are, in contrast to plain lists and most other 
elements, implemented by the Kupu team (well, me, actually) rather then 
a built-in browser feature. I know that they're far from perfect, a lot 
of semantics should still be implemented, but we decided to make them 
available anyway because the definition lists are available in Silva's 
forms editor too, not implementing them would mean that it wouldn't be 
possible to edit documents containing dts in Kupu without breaking the 
dts (also existing ones I think).
I hope we (I?) get a chance to improve the implementation at some point.

That will prove to be more difficult: since the undo *is* built-in 
browser behaviour and browsers don't seem to have a way to hook into the 
undo functionality, the undo button will only be able to undo actions 
performed from the browser, not the ones that we handle from JavaScript 
(such as creating tables, dts, images). Fixing that would mean we'd have 
to implement the undo functionality ourselves, which is *very* hard...
