It specifies the element for the top-level container---by default,
something like:

          <div id="outline-container-sec-1" class="outline-2">

In the case of e.g., a blog or slideshow, <article> is an appropriate
top-level wrapper lelement.

Regardless, I'm not sure which object you are expecting the
#+ATTR_HTML to apply to in the example above. Here's the html the
above section generates:

#+BEGIN_HTML
<div id="outline-container-sec-5" class="outline-2">
  <h2 id="sec-5"><span class="section-number-2">5</span> A definiton list</h2>
  <div class="outline-text-2" id="text-5">
    <dl class="org-dl">
      <dt> a </dt><dd>foo
      </dd>
      <dt> b </dt><dd>bar
      </dd>
    </dl>
  </div>
</div>

Where the 'outline-text-2' div is actually around the entire body of
the section, not just the definition list (there is no explicit
wrapper around the definition list).

I would argue that to set the element type fro the outer
(outline-container) div or the inner (outline-text) div, a property
setting would make more sense. I can see using a (headline level)
:HTML_CONTAINER property to set the container on a given headline
(which i think i will impliment as it is very low impact), and perhaps
either an :HTML_CHILD_CONTAINER or :HTML_TEXT_CONTAINER to specify the
wrapper on the inner section.
