FWIIW: I am still working on the latex emulator (on and off). 

Hans' explanation is not really what 'description' does, I'm
afraid. I've never tried to do something like this in context (the
result is unvariably ugly in LaTeX, so why bother?). 

For hans: the latex syntax is like:

\begin{description}
\item[aap] Is a monkey
\item[noot] Stuff a monkey eats
\item[mies] Stuff a monkey would like to get his hands on
\end{description}

Which results in an unsorted list kind of like itemize but with a
user-suplied label. I tend to do these things through plain TeX
definitions, and I think hans does so as well. So no real answer,
sorry
