Mark, don't give in easily. You say ''I can see how treating line breaks as line breaks can lead to messy output.'' It's the same the other way round. But in that case (linrebreaks as linebreaks) you don't have to educate people since they are used to it from other software including email clients, blogging software, forms etc. They should know that it is bad style and that they should rely on wordwrap. Alex Schroeder has a point.
Every rule on a CheatSheet is a rule too much. Explaining a "forced line" break is much too much.
Radomir is right that this is something that in a sense breaks the rule of [NotNew]. But it fixes something that wikis do other than all systems endusers know, and that's because there where no linebreaks in 1995. Nobody complaint about that current rule at the WMS Workshop.
I am still against changing the spec. As I can see here there is no consensus about that. I'll wait for SteffenSchramm to tell me how difficult it is to write mixed markup.
I reccomend you to read Alains paper "Are Wikis Usable". There's something I would like to add to the [Good Practices] called [MakeTheMachineWorkHarder]. You might be concerned that your parsers become convulted. But the alternative to a usable wiki markup is to write a working WYSIWYG editor, and that's what I call convulted - and IMO wysiwig editors slowed down mankind for much to long.
