If I have a multi-line <dd> content, I get "Possibly inappropriate use of a "Span" structure element" warnings in PAC2021.

The HTML is

<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <title>DD test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <dl>
      <dt>Foo</dt>
      <dd>Bar<br>Baz
      </dd>
    </dl>
  </body>
</html>

The resulting PDF is dd-test.pdf

I managed to work around the issue by adding:

dd br {
  display: block;
  line-height: 0;
}
