Excellent point!  Using "words" is probably not a viable solution then (and
there may even be situations where one would want to break *within* words).

But the question remains: is a line-break Markup or Style?  I think it's Style
because 1) it's for visual effect, and 2) it's media-dependent.  Forced line
breaks (now days done with <br>) may look fine with screen and print, but how
does that square with Braille, pagers, and other output devices?

On the other hand, maybe it's neither Markup *nor* Style, but falls into another
category -- perhaps like hyphenation ...  :)
