Right, Poetry is an application I hadn't thought of, but generally with address information as well.
I just find that there are no times when I encounter pre-wrapped text... so it wouldn't hurt to have it as an option. And even I myself use paragraphs close together with some semantic meaning, although this is a contrived example :) I agree with html interspersed it would be very messy and maybe unusable, but what I have done is made a filter for "noobs" (aka my users) and left the old filter for those who want all the other features of Textile (aka me, I guess). It looks like I'm in the minority though, so I'm happy with the workaround I've arranged.
