I've been thinking a little bit more about these issues and I'm returning to a previous suggestion... Do we still think that using #+KEYWORD+: lines is an ugly way to specify multi-line values for keywords. I think this has the advantages of simplicity, intuitiveness (its use is obvious once you see it), and generality (i.e., this could be used to allow multi-line tblfm lines).
