Abstract should accept full source formatting

[fantasai]

It would be nice if the abstract, which is generally fairly long, could be line-wrapped without breaking metadata parsing.

I agree, but it would be a big change to the metadata parsing.

Right now, I accept multiple "Abstract" lines, with each line being a separate paragraph. I could perhaps change this, so that it accepts multiple lines, but just gloms them together as though they were multiple lines in the source, so you could write:

Abstract: The CSS Foo spec helps authors develop the fooness of their pages,
Abstract: and occasionally the barity.
Abstract:
Abstract: It also adds the 'baz' property, for encouraging bazzing.

How does that sound?

I wouldn't consider it "fixed" cuz it's kindof awkward, but maybe it's an improvement? I'm not sure.

Now if you just indent a metadata line it assumes it's a continuation of the previous line, so the above example now looks like:

Abstract: The CSS Foo spec helps authors develop the fooness of their pages,
 and occasionally the barity.

 It also adds the 'baz' property, for encouraging bazzing.

Considering this fully fixed.
