Naah.  We should update the 72-character ASCII limit to 40-characters.  Not
only will that work for all of these mobile devices, it will work on a 
TRS-80, too.

But that's still too big for even present-day iPod Nanos.  Their
screens are just over an inch wide.  Clearly we need to wrap at no
more than about 25 characters.  For future-proofing (when people have
their (ahem) audio devices that just happen to also have semi-legible
screens, embedded into literal thumbnails) we ought to reduce it to
ten.
