But wouldn't you then have to invent a new parameter, "Format=Superflowed"

ensure that the present space-stuffing rule did not get in the way of this
suggested extension (actually, I think it probably does not, but it should
be thought about).

Proletext, OTOH is a much bigger thing. I think it would have to be a
whole new text type.

Any additional functionality would require a new value for the Format parameter, yes. This would include your indent idea, proletext, or anything else. I don't see that as such a big deal. I'd rather get Format=Flowed out in its present form. Any extra functionality is a potential obstacle, and would I think be better worked on after we get wider deployment and operational experience with the current f=f.
