You can't, because different readers will act different anyway, and I guess most will just ignore it.

I use simply line feeds for paragraphs inside <dc:description>. I don't know if you can do this with Sigil's metadata editor directly, but you can probably by hand-editing the OPF file.

I've already researched several "professionally" produced epubs, and as far as I can tell the rule is make up what you want and stick it in, let the end user worry about it.
That sums it up pretty well. You'll sometimes find series, author and publisher all crowded in the title tag, or all authors, editors and illustrators in a single creator tag...
