   Of course, wrapped text can be wrapped to a nice length like 60
   columns even on a 130 column display, it does offer choice.  But
   the burden of having everybody write in text formatter language
   is too much for the tiny gain, at least right now.

No need to.  Use newlines as now, except within paragraphs, which
would be entered as a single line.  Newsreaders could then wrap these
long lines as appropriate.
