I can't quite agree: if you have a soft-newline, that means that the
headline (to be marked) continues in the next line. The user has not
pressed return! It's like a normal line-wrap.
The syntax highlighting should take into account what the compiler
(eventually) gets to see (in the case of source code) or what gets
written to file.
Given that longlines-mode shows that kind of behavior in other major
modes as well (e.g. python mode - i reported a bug recently), I think
that Richard's suggestion about making '.' match soft-newlines might
be a good idea and a general solution to this class of problems. One
would obviously want to make sure that the newlines-indicator (I
don't know how this is implemented) is unique so that the change of
regexp matching doesn't have knock-on effects in other contexts.
