Cool.

Do we want hanging indents, like in the itemized list you are using
in your posting?

There should be a way to tell which "visual" newlines are actually
in the file and which ones are just produced from line wrapping.

What about "." in regular expressions? What should paragraph
operations do? (I'm guessing that C-a/C-e should move visually.)
Regarding the hanging indents thing, perhaps that could lead to a
more general mode where we always stuff things to the left/right of
the "real" line. I think that currently, there is specialized
support for M-q in multiline /* ... */ \n /* ... */ style comments.
We could also use the "line prefix/suffix" stuff for editing LaTeX
documentation (are they called DOC files?), for using text mode in
comments, and whatnot.
Does this have anything to do with mmm-mode or multi-mode?
