This was suggested already for other keywords, e.g., MACRO. and CALL
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/69326).

> The usual continuation syntax of backslash before the EOL can be used.

This can be an option. What would be needed is an unambiguous syntax
(e.g., what happens to lines ending with a backslash, without meaning
a continuation?). Bonus points if it is elegant, too.

> Or else, a new keyword #+BIND1: for each continuation line.

No, BIND1 is also a valid keyword name. This could introduce a clash.

No, keyword parsing happens in `org-element-keyword-parser' and
`org-element-babel-call-parser' for the special #+CALL: keyword.
