If you're not using it already I recommend you try out the sgml-mode.el
version in the Emacs-CVS repository, which you can browse from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs. It has some improvements for
XML editing.

Other than selecting the region and calling fill-region, no, I don't know
how to do that conveniently.

A lonely tag like </description> should be considered as
a paragraph separator and prevent filling. There's obviously a bug.
Please report it with M-x report-emacs-bug. But if you can try it with the
above-mentioned CVS code first (I believe the new sgml-mode.el still works
in Emacs-21.3) it's even better.
