In the 0.9.x series, the \n was used as an end if line character
because there was no auto-wrap in the description text field in the
old GUI (so primitive!).
<br /> looks like a paragraph delimiter, if we substitute \n with <br
/> we're going to end up with some pretty weird looking descriptions.
For example:
description = The Sirene Astronomical Observatory\nLagarde d'Apt (84),
France\n\nPanoramic view of installations. Previously the site\nwas
used as a nuclear lauching pad. Now days,\nSirene accepts everybody
for astronomical\nobservations.\n\nPhotos : March 29, 2008\nLandscape

The \n is not being used as a paragraph delimiter.
It might be worthwhile replacing "\n\n" with "<br />" before the "\n"
with "" replacement. What do you think?
