Text reflow woes (or: I want bullets back!)

I assume this refers to the following part from early in RFC3676 4.1?

Using a trailing space is kind of a neat solution, in the sense that is
has very low visual impact.  But the particular implementation above
strikes me as "backward".  I want the majority of my lines to be flowed.
The exceptions, which would be things like bullet points, or a centred
title line, would likely account for fewer than 10% of the lines in the
whole document.  Since they are in the minority, *they* are the lines
which should require extra effort (manually adding an extra space).  The
majority wrapped lines should require no effort to prepare (and
certainly shouldn't require me to fight against my editor's wrapping).

Adopting RFC3676 wholesale would bring in a lot of extra stuff that I
don't think we have an immediate need for (like quoting related stuff).
But I'm very happy to use it as inspiration.

Maybe a rule where lines ending in a space are immune to flowing could
work?
