Why, what were the compromises necessary here between "document creators" and "the church of editors"? I didn't notice any compromises being required - the consensus was that it's certainly possible to create line numbers but it's not an automatic feature.

Would you really ever break a whole document up into single-line paragraphs just to save changing a paragraph style or two? I'm just curious. In all my editing and layout experience, I've never come across a situation that justified me making such a drastic and disruptive change to text, and I simply can't imagine one.

I also come across many sentences that simply couldn't be edited down to one line without making a nonsense of the message. What would happen to them in a one-line para?
