Sorry, I stand corrected. Turns out my mailer helpfully altered the text of
Robin's message by changing the leading colons in his term-definition pairs
into greater thans, so I didn't understand his example. Given that, he's
right - a line break with \\ does appear to break definition lists that
begin on the next line.
