I agree. If an author writes a page in DTML or ZPT, they need to know
what they're doing, and Zope should not try to second-guess the
author's intentions.

OTOH, Structured Text *should* try to provide nicely readable output
on most browsers without the author needing to know anything about web
design. If we find any examples of Structured Text pages with these
long lines, it's worth considering what if anything can be done to fix
it.
