How to properly display multiline text in SVG 1.1?

Question

I would like to take a multiline block of text and display it in SVG. I would like to keep the lines as lines. Is there a proper way to do this?

I am using Inkscape

I'd suggest with children. Inkscape can generate that for you quite easily, just don't click and drag an area but instead just click where you want the text and start writing, press return where you want a new line.
