Other than simple readability in a vim session, is there a reason for me to 
be concerned about line length in a DocBook document? Is there a limit of 
any kind?

I am aware that, in most cases, whitespace does not matter and so I freely 
split up stuff among multiple lines. However, I have noticed that tags like 
"computeroutput" suddenly make whitespace relevant and I am being forced to 
create lines that are much longer than 80 characters. Is this, or can this 
be, a problem in any way?

Thanks,
