Hmm, sorry, I thought Robert had said there was a 140 byte limit. I misread.

I don't think that affects my point. The choice between formats is not
solely predicated on whether we have multi-line support.

I still think writing down some actual use cases would help bring the
discussion to a conclusion. Inventing a general facility is hard without
some clear goals about what we need to support.
