The way I see it, if use-hard-newlines is enabled, the user finishes a paragraph by explicitly typing a newline. That newline _is_ hard. Newlines inserted by Emacs for filling or standard-following purposes are soft. So I think that use-hard-newlines should inhibit the effect of require-final-newline. It is the only way to get reliable results. There are two minor modes I know of that use hard newlines: Enriched mode and Longlines. I believe that the above solution would be OK for Enriched mode, at least as long as it only works with text/enriched. Unless I overlooked something, nothing in RFC1896 requires a final newline, hard or soft. I believe, however, that Longlines could conceivably be used for stuff whose standard requires a final newline.
