Is there any opinion on which variant is "correct"? If not, I'll update the docs so that sentences in descriptions are separated by periods, rather than terminated: so single sentence descriptions will have no period, and multiple sentence descriptions will have periods except for the last sentence. I have a vague recollection that we use this style elsewhere... -Neil
