Is not pretty. Using an encoded \n between a list of strings
As such, when implemeting help urls, I switched it to be like
<helpurls> <helpurl>http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Properties#revisions_.2F_rv</helpurl> </helpurls>
As such, I know changing from the (crappy) inline attribute, to a list of elements is a "breaking change", how about doing both (?) for a while, and then sometime in the future, drop the nasty way?
I know it's not so much of a breaking change, as it's not parameter renaming, but it is a format change
