   @rq The whole idea of the W3C is to write technical specs that are to be never actually read.
   
   There's no problem with long lines if you're using a decent viewer that can break at the edge of the screen.

     Something that bothers me about the W3C specifications is how they don't seem to limit line length at all in their CSS. This gives extremely long lines with any (normally) reasonably sized browser window, hampering readability. The last thing you want a technical spec to be is hard to read.
