Yes, that's the technique I have been using so far. It seems to me that Richard would disagree here. I suspect that is a misunderstanding, because what Eli is talking about sounds like what I'm in favor of. Automatically-inserted newlines should be "soft", while newlines inserted by the user should be "hard". On saving, the soft newlines can be discarded, since line-breaking will regenerate them anyway.
