I am using <ins> and <del> to markup editorial changes in a document. To make them better readable they are colored in some green and red in addition to <u> and <s>. It all works fine except for the dl-dd-dt lists. There, I use an <ins> all around, but the green color is not preserved neither for the <dt> nor the <dd>.
I am aware that I can add another <ins> to each <dt> and <dd>. But I would, if possible, prefer a more principled approach: After all, the entire text including its indentation should be added and not only the elements, so it would be semantically more accurate to have a single enclosing <ins>.
(I am using Firefox 39.0, should this matter)
ins {
background: #e4ffe4
}
del {
background: #ffd0d0
}
<INS>
Preamble, green
<DL>
<DT>dt: underlined but not green
<DD>dd: underlined but not green
<DT><INS>dt-with-ins, green</INS>
<DD>
<INS>dd-with-ins, green</INS>
</DL>
</INS>

Here you go. Just add an ins dl style.
ins, ins dl {
background: #e4ffe4
}
del {
background: #ffd0d0
}
<INS>
Preamble, green
<DL>
<DT>dt: underlined but not green
<DD>dd: underlined but not green
<DT><INS>dt-with-ins, green</INS>
<DD>
<INS>dd-with-ins, green</INS>
</DL>
</INS>
