> Well, we can email the coordinator asking what they think of this.

With Benno being OK, we should start looking at implementing the change.
The various parts that I can think of are:

  =E2=80=A2 Having a =E2=80=98package-description-string=E2=80=99 procedure=
 that would return
    the description rendered as a string, using the (stexi) modules.

  =E2=80=A2 =E2=80=98--search=E2=80=99 could use the raw description (inclu=
ding markup).
    However, =E2=80=98package->recutils=E2=80=99 must use =E2=80=98package-=
description-string=E2=80=99
    or similar.

  =E2=80=A2 guix.el, guix-web, and the web site need to do the right thing =
when
    displaying descriptions.

Any volunteer?  :-)
