Well, yes, but...

A more general approach would be to define it as a specially-
classed paragraph, perhaps class='book', with a default
presentation, perhaps indented, but not specify the formatting 
as part of the markup's definition. This allows the paragraph
to be presented differently in different contexts, if desired.

So in this example

# Bork bork bork
+Borkbork bork
# and bork
+ Bork bork bork.

both list items would be numbered 1? or is the second
one numbered 2?

Not as I understand the new spaced text markup --
I think it's
<li>Bork bork bork<p>Borkbork bork ... bork.</p></li>

But I could be wrong; it's hard to keep up.

again, not as I understand the new spaced text markup --
I think it's
<dt>Borkbork</dt><dd>blech blech blech</dd>
<dd>Borkbork bork ... bork.</dd>

I was more meaning that +start of line markup gives you
multiparagraphs for free. And wanted to explore whether
pmwiki should treat +start of line the same way in all
cases, ie

Stuff
+more stuff and

#Stuff
+more stuff

Your answer is yes it should; mine is I don't know.
I think it should remain a local customisation for now.
