Further experimentation shows that the PDF toolchain is perfectly willing
to put a page break *within* a multi-line <row>; if there is any
preference to break between rows instead, it's pretty weak. So that
argument is a red herring and we shouldn't waste time chasing it.
However, there'd still be some advantage in not being dependent on CSS
hackery to make it look nice in HTML.
What we're down to wanting, at this point, is basically a para with
hanging indent.

That looks about right, perhaps, but could you be a little clearer about
how you accomplished that?
