Which contemporary languages and infrastructures have a problem with long lines? Old school used small buffers to handle consecutive portions, the method is not much different to line based handling. Today, buffers tend to be larger than content. I agree that those long lines are human unfriendly at various levels. And thus they are suspect and undesirable. I think they exist because line endings are of little importance to HTML/javascript browsers/interpreters.
