Don't think we should encourage HTML in description long term - this should be a complete
  plaintext description, that presents the default index page. If you need more on the index page, suggest index.xml.
  Doco updated accordingly.

Description:
The description for the "description" element in reference/project-descriptor.xml states that the content model for the element is CDATA so as to be able to include HTML tags. This is false according to the XML Schema xsd/maven-project.xsd which specifies the "description" element as being of type xs:string which prohibits children elements.

Either the description or maven-project.xsd should be fixed. Personally, I would rather be able to include HTML in the project description in project.xml...

Estimate is for fixing the documentation. Changing the schema might be trickier depending on the existence of side-effects.
