Why not?
You know how we write:
<programlisting>Make sure this cuddles up next to the tag so that
extra white space isn't introduced.</programlisting>
We could also write this like so:
<programlisting
>Make sure this cuddles up next to the tag so that
extra white space isn't introduced.</programlisting>
That's perfectly legal SGML (and XML for that matter). I agree with you
that it's less aesthetically pleasing, but if it makes life easier for
the translators in their translations then there's no need for them to
change it.
