Any particular reason you're using paragraph-length lines?  I'd suggest
avoiding it for normal running text like this.

I'm of two minds about that.  For people who actually understand the
issues and find the tradeoffs acceptable, it's convenient.  But for
people who think they understand more than they actually do, it's a
nice stout piece of rope already tied into a noose....  I'm not sure
where I come down on that question.  My own implementation won't use
none by default, but if you tell it to it won't give you any backtalk.
