This is because text can be freely rewrapped and not lose its meaning. 
These three lines read to a machine like three lines in a paragraph even
though to us they are semantically three key/value pairs.

I've opened https://github.com/mquinson/po4a/issues/8 to start to think
about this.  There are some other issues there too that may be worth
weighing in on.

The branch I've created is working, but needs tests.
