RE: text/paragraph or wrap=yes/no

The interoperability problem is in the near term better solved by a
parameter, not text/paragraph.  The only problems I've heard with the
parameter are fairly vague procedural misgivings, and a wish that nobody
would send paragraph text.  I understand the former, but I think it's
outweighed by the practical disadvantage of text/paragraph, at least for
now.  As for the latter, I just don't agree.

There's nothing vague about it. The problem is that there needs to be an added
requirement to require the ability to generate text/plain wrap=no and you and
others at Qualcomm appear to object to that.

I have said before and I'll say it again: I have no problem with adding
a parameter as long as this requirement is present. You appear to be
the one with a problem, so the ball is in your court: Either convince
the rest of us that this parameter is unnecessary, or accept that it needs
to be there. Either way and it looks like we can move forward, and if not
we cannot.
