This source:
;Well :this is ok
;Ooops http://this.renders.wrong :though
;Ooops [http://this.renders.wrong too] :ack!

Renders as:
Well
         this is ok
Ooops http
         //this.renders.wrong :though
Ooops [http
         //this.renders.wrong too] :ack!

which is a bit unintuitive. The URLs perhaps ought to
be parsed before the ;s and :s are separated.

In Usemod, this rendered as the expected:
Well
        this is ok
Ooops http://this.renders.wrong
        though
Ooops [too]
        ack

Phase II seems to have had the same error as phase III.
It doesn't come up often though, as definition lists
are extremely rare. I found one in the FAQ though, and
it barfs when I try to put URL links into the entry (;)
portion.

Tested in current 1.3; still awful, it's also invalid markup:

>This source:

Well this is ok
Ooops //this.renders.wrong" 
class='external'>http://this.renders.wrong :though
Ooops //this.renders.wrong' 
class='external'>too (http://
this.renders.wrong) :ack!

Partial fix is checked in, but not yet complete. See demo:
