The specification states that including the literal string
"</verbatim>" inside of a verbatim environment may be done by breaking
up the verbatim segment into two verbatim segments. This is not
true--a reader is allowed to split the line as follows:
...slightly challenging to include the literal string "</
verbatim>" inside of a verbatim environment...
It is not possible with the supplied command set to turn off
filling, yet still retain interpretation of formatting commands.
In short, I think verbatim should just turn off filling and
justification. Readers can then treat it as any other command.
Composers can easily deal with having to double < and CRLF's.
