Screen capture of iPad with VoiceOver reading through dl-dt-dd markup

This issue was reported to me and verified by a student using my company's product. The student found the announcement of "description" after each in-line element to be very distracting and could not progress in their studies.

Frequency: this issue will always happen inside of a dd element that has any child element content.
Steps to reproduce
1. In Safari on an iPad with VoiceOver activated navigate to https://thrintuim.github.io/dl_markup_testing.html
2. Using VoiceOver swipe into the page.
3. Listen to each announcement in full.

Expectation: VoiceOver announces "description" when the end of the content within the dd element is reached.

Actual result: VoiceOver announces "description" after the end of each in-line element within the dd resulting in "description" being announced 6 times for one dd element.

Test system: iPad Pro 10.5, Model# MPDY2LL/A, iPadOS version 14.4.2
