That is the way the browser does it.
The HTML code produced should be:

<DL COMPACT>
<DT>
item name
</DT>
<DD>
rest_of_text
</DD>

 ...
 ...
</DL>


Only if the item name has fewer than 5 characters
does the rest_of_text start on the same line.

You may be able to change this behaviour using a stylesheet rule.
