I was referring specifically to refdes, which you were talking about.
I know other attributes in general can be multi-line, but if you had a
multi-line refdes I suspect the odds are good that something in the
various flows to barf on it.

Just because attributes in general are flexible doesn't mean that
interpretation of attributes in context is.
