I think you can best use \starttabulate ... for several reasons: (1) it handles multiple paragraphs, and automatically calculated the width (2) it handles itemizes etc well (3) it breaks across pages (in a next release even better, with tracing too) (4) you can hook things into columns (which is what I so when I want some value to be passed onto a graphic drawing routine), I even think it's described somewhere in a maps Actually, \defineparagraph, is sort of replaced by \definetabulation, and the former is only still usefull for special cases, for instance when one describes his/her own commands using it. There is an example of how to deal with itemize in the beta chapter on descriptions. (you need to turn off the pre/post white space and so).
