The VT100 had 80 columns (132 with an option).

We are talking about ASR33 teletypes here, with 72 columns.

One problem with RFCXML is that we don’t have the equivalent of “artset” for 
sourcecode; so we can’t apply 8792 folding for teletype plaintext, while using 
different settings for HTML/PDF.  It is really weird to see these folding 
efforts in HTML/PDF where it might not be needed (or can enjoy more relaxed 
parameters).
