They are labeled as paragraphs, so they should look like paragraphs.  
Only one is a nicely formatted HTML paragraph.  The other two have
inappropriate line breaks -- obviously in one case and relatively harmlessly
in the other, but those two cases are in fact one, which is the whole point
(i.e., the `br` elements prevent the paragraph from flowing as it should).

If I have understood your suggestion
to "just don't use line breaks", it completely misses the point
of Markdown (and reStructuredText), which is that viewing the plain
text should be attractive and readable.  That is not qualified to "view
the plain text in an editor that has line-wrapping turned on".  To put
it another way, it should look ok if a decision were made to put
all paragraphs inside a `pre` tag instead of a `p` tag, or if it were
simply printed as is (i.e., not pretty printed).

Finally, even if you could argue that this is just a matter of our tastes
differing, sticking with the Markdown specification (i.e., producing
a hard wrap by including two terminal spaces) allows us both to
satisfy our tastes, while the current approach (turning on `HARDWRAPS`)
imposes one set of tastes on the other.

I've taken up enough of your time with this so I'll shut up now.
But please take seriously that turning on `HARDWRAPS` is unpleasant
for some users and gains other users nothing they could not have
in any case.
