I don't think word wrap was being used in such a technical sense.  I 
think it was being used in a 1980s sense, simply to mean inserting 
newlines between words to limit the line length.

The problem with his problem site is that the table layout has imposed a 
minimum width which means that you cannot zoom the page without text 
going outside the window.

Such layouts often make pages unprintable.
