Yes, that gives more space than wanted.

We have adopted the definition list for presenting certain information
in a stylised way in certain pages in order to facilitate searching for
summarising in other pages (using the SearchInPagesAndSort macro). In
this case it just happened to be preceded by a list. What made matters
worse was that it was immediately followed by another unordered
list/definition list combination, so the problem escalated. However,
nesting the definition lists within the unordered list items gives an
acceptable layout for now.
