If you are editing a novel where every paragraph is written without
newlines, wrapping just being done to accommodate the editing window
(but irrelevant for the result), you want to be able to edit and
navigate with finer grained units than whole paragraphs.

Agreed. That's why a visual-line-mode makes sense on top of Stefan's patch. It would be good to enable it by default in text modes.
