So, what about the following proposal:

1) File a bug against our tools asking David Cramer to mark <term> as 
bold in variable lists.

2) Add to conventions (with proper markup examples, enhancing current 
entry about variable list):

For lists that consist of a short term and its definition, variable 
lists should be used.

Any current usage as bulleted list should be converted. For example, the 
following bulleted list entries:

     Spellchecking: process of correcting spelling
     Pagebreaking—process of breaking pages

should be variable list entries:

Spellchecking
     Process of correcting spelling
Pagebreaking
     Process of breaking pages
