Comment (by melchoyce):

 > Conclusion: I'd recommend to keep it simple and use just a single
 element (a paragraph).

 I still think it'll be much easier for sighted users to understand if it's
 broken up into paragraphs and list items. If we decide to do one
 paragraph, then I think we need to revisit the decision to open these
 instructions by default. I don't want to overwhelm people with a giant
 paragraph the first time they open the CSS panel.

 Is there a way to add a note for translators to look at all the strings in
 context before translating?

 > Worth also noting the Help text should be the same in 4 different
 places, and when used in the admin pages Help tabs, a list might not look
 so nice: depending on the screen width and translations, there's the
 chance the text will wrap producing a few "widows", for example.

 That's fine — nothing can be expected to be perfect when you're dealing
 with variable widths. :)
