I'm in favor of converting the examples, or all but one or two. What about the headers? We can only convert those if _everyone_ uses free-form, otherwise we're excluding someone. So I think we have to keep those in obtuse hybrid format (free-form continuation after column 72 so fixed-form doesn't read it, etc).
