The last editor have a (VERY STUPID) wrap words mode, it seems to work, I used 
it to write mails and the text is wrapped correctly. The editor is supposed to 
be available (I say supposed because until now I didn't tried to download it, 
my connection is a disaster this week).

I don't know because then it can't be used for small parts of a file, for 
example: A friend at work want to use it inside comments ... then the thing is 
a little more complex.
The other problem is speed, but of course if the user enables such a thing is 
your responsability ;-).
If you want to send me this part of code go ahead I can get some idea.
Actually I just cut lines if when you are typing the cursor crosses the wrap 
column.
