A word-wrapped line is essentially the same as a continued line; it's
just that the line is continued at a word boundary rather than a window
edge. In terms of the buffer contents, it's all one long line, so
there's no reason for margin properties to have any effect on the
subsequent *screen* lines in the wrapped line.

But the reason for wrapping at words is to enhance readability for the
user. For precisely this reason I think that the left margin property
should be used indent the wrapped line too.
After all that is how fill-paragraph works. I think we should think the
same about wrapped lines.

When a line is wrapped the `left-margin' text property is honored only
on the first visual line. This seems ok to me unless word-wrap is true.
In that case I think that `left-margin' and `right-margin' should be
honored on all visual lines.
