Why do formalparas only allow one para?

[Kate.Wringe@sybase.com]

 It would be nice if you could
include multiple paras within a <formalpara>. Is there a reason why
you can only have one <para> in a <formalpara> tag? 
We have a lot of cases where we would
like to use <formalpara> but can't because of the one para restriction.
We like the format of a formalpara because
you can put an (inline) title on the content, you can embed indexterms
within it, and because it is container tag,  you can move it easily.

Unfortunately, because you can only
have a one para in a formalpara, we have to convert formalparas to variablelists
when we need to use more than one <para>.
Using varlistentries is fine, if you
have more than one varlistentry otherwise, it looks weird. 

Thanks again,
