Comment(by demetris):

 I attached two screenshots which I think explain why I am not comfortable
 with the single-string format:

 Translating the single-string Welcome post:

 string.png

 Translating the multiple-string Welcome post:

 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/11008/wp-29-welcome-
 string-multi.png

 The message in the first is a mess.  That’s why I proposed an alternative
 for consideration.  I am not sure I like the alternative much better, and,
 in any case, I am only one among the translators, so I only have one vote.
 :-)

 Replying to [comment:20 Viper007Bond]:
 > There's nothing wrong with double line breaks. Infact that's how one
 normally writes (say in a word processor). Not to mention the paragraph
 tags show up when you edit the post in the current version (that's how I
 noticed it).

 That’s how one normally writes in a TEXT EDITOR.  In word processors (like
 MS Office, OOo, Google Docs, TinyMCE, etc.) we just hit Enter once. :-)

 Also, the paragraphs tags do not show in the editor:  In an new
 installation, WordPress defaults to the visual editor, which removes the
 paragraph tags.  If you switch to the HTML tab, they are not there.
