I'm starting to think "wrap=yes/no" is a misleading name for the

Anyone have a better suggestion?   (and please don't suggest
"blurdybloop=yes/no" :-).

At this point, I'll go ahead and update the draft to use a content-type
parameter ("format=" for now).


This sounds great, but shouldn't it be:

  format=fixed-lines/paragraphs/blurdybloops


I'm a bit worried about what people will do given the option to name 
their text anything they want, so we probably ought to try (again) for a 
defaulting rule for unrecognized formats. :-)
