Let's take a look at the <DL> rendering in
$ COLUMNS=55 lynx http://jidanni.org/geo/taiwan_datums/index_en.html#twd

   Is there an origin (0,0)?
          Go  to  the junction of the equator and
          121  degrees east longitude, then point
          one's head west and go straight 250 km.

   If I go due east or north, will that increase
          TM2's E and N values?
          Not exactly. Take a good look at a map.
          The  only place where the longitude and

The first is OK, but on the second, we see that if <DT> is a little

Actually, the main difference between lynx and w3m is that the latter
enforces a blank line between the dt/dd parts.  Other than that, differences
between margins account for the remainder of the visual effects, since
lynx/w3m both wrap the dt to make a hanging indent.

elinks wraps dt differently, does not use a hanging indent.

Perhaps the request could be rephrased to suggest that lynx provide the
blank line (which would be configurable of course).
