Attention Gemininauts!

I have officially updated the spec-spec just now.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES:

Section 1.3.5.3 (Text display) has been completely rewritten.  The
previous optional text reflowing has been replaced with instructions to,
breifly, wrap long lines but not join short lines.

IMPLICATIONS FOR SERVER AUTHORS:

None

IMPLICATIONS FOR CLIENT AUTHORS:

Clients now need to implement wrapping of long lines.

IMPLICATIONS FOR CONTENT AUTHORS:

Authors MAY (and are encouraged to) reformat their content to avoid
hard-wrapping, so that their content can be displayed neatly on clients
with arbitrary display widths.

Cheers,
Solderpunk
