Not valuable to all users. My users *MUST* use \\ since the vast
majority of the contents of our wiki consists of procedures. Current
technical writing practice is to write the results of a step on a
separate line aligned with the step i.e.
1. Do X
   Now you see the window.
2. Click OK.

In order to get this result in pmWiki we need:

# Do X.\\
Now you see the window.
# Click OK.

Even without the alignment requirement, leaving out the \\ will break
the numbering.

Please don't assume removing \\ from the guidelines will be universally
acceptable.
