    A maximum line length of 80 characters is RECOMMENDED.

    This is a terrible recommendation. It defeats the purpose of semantic line breaks if you insert them for non-semantic reasons as well. It also makes editing much more difficult. Let client software handle soft line wrapping, so the user can customize it as it makes sense for them. If your client software doesn’t handle soft line wrapping in a sensible way, find better software.
