   	My OP contained two URIs -- a 68 characters long http: one, and   
   	a 63 characters long news: one.  Neither should've been split,   
   	even after an "overhead" of 9 characters (reference labels and   
   	quote attribution) was added (thus resulting in 77 characters on   
   	a line at most.)   
      
   	Or is there a chance for a line to be split, or mangled, by the   
   	software even if less than 80 (79) characters long these days?
