I am FOR eliminating text reflow (ala RFC 1896) and AGAINST a specific
hard wrap number (other than the viewport itself). Which is to say: I think
your proposal is a good compromise that _does_ improve the spec and makes
things more clear.
The issue of lists and such is still open, but I have come around on
that slightly. Solderpunk, via e-mail, pointed out that lists and headers
can provide more varied and flexible display in graphical clients... and I
had not thought of things in terms of graphical clients. That makes sense
to me. So long as it is not a mandate, but an optional part of the spec, I
withdraw my objection.
